Coolgrip - Hi-Heat Gloves | Superior Glove

Hi-Heat Gloves for Hot Materials Handling

The Coolgrip Hi-Heat Gloves are hi-heat gloves designed for hot materials handling in demanding industrial work. Welders, metal fabricators, and machine operators typically use this equipment to improve grip and manage heat exposure during short to extended tasks. This ANSI 5 certified glove features silicone stripes on the palm and 6-inch knit cuffs for added wrist and forearm coverage.

Industry Applications and Professional Use

Manufacturing Work Environments

Manufacturing teams commonly use heat resistant gloves when moving hot parts, handling tooling, or working near heated equipment. The cotton construction and palm grip support steady handling in busy production areas. This helps workers maintain control during routine high-heat handling tasks.

Metal Fabrication Shops

Metal fabricators often rely on thermal gloves when carrying heated components or working around fresh welds. Silicone grip and forearm coverage help support comfortable handling during repetitive shop work. These work gloves suit general hot work tasks where dexterity and heat hazard management matter.

Foundry Operations

Foundry workers typically need foundry gloves that handle intense radiant heat and hot metal handling. The internally tested heat resistance up to 752°F / 400°C supports severe thermal exposure needs. Workers can use them during transfers, sorting, and other high-heat handling activities.

Laboratory Settings

Laboratory technicians commonly wear protective handwear when moving hot glassware or equipment. The 6-inch knit cuffs add forearm coverage during careful bench work. This makes the gloves useful for controlled lab tasks where grip and heat protection both matter.

Plastic Manufacturing

Plastic manufacturing and injection molding teams often use heat resistant work gloves when handling hot molds or formed parts. The silicone grip helps with control on smooth surfaces. The design supports indoor daily-use tasks that involve repeated contact with warm components.

Technical Specifications and Product Features

Understanding ANSI 5 Heat Resistance

Heat resistant gloves need clear performance details so workers can match the glove to the task. This model is internally tested to provide heat protection beyond ANSI 5 and up to 752°F / 400°C. That gives users a practical option for high-heat handling where grip and forearm coverage matter.

Use Case Scenarios and Applications

Hot Metal Handling

Workers handling freshly processed metal often need heat resistant gloves with reliable palm grip. The silicone stripes on the palm help maintain control while moving parts from one station to another. This can support smoother handling during production and maintenance tasks.

Injection Molding and Plastic Processing

Injection molding teams often work around hot molds and formed parts. These thermal gloves provide a practical combination of grip, cotton comfort, and cuff coverage. Workers can use them for brief transfers and repeated component handling.

Foundry and High-Heat Industrial Tasks

Foundry gloves must handle elevated temperatures and frequent movement near hot surfaces. This glove suits high-heat handling where workers need both insulation and control. The extended cuffs help cover more of the wrist and forearm during demanding shifts.

Lab and Equipment Handling

Laboratories often need protective handwear for hot glassware, heated tools, or warm process equipment. The glove design supports controlled handling without adding unnecessary bulk. That makes it suitable for precision work in indoor environments.

Ideal Applications and Work Environments

Where This Hi-Heat Glove Excels

• Foundry work: Handles hot parts and supports extended cuff coverage in severe heat settings.
• Metal fabrication: Silicone grip helps workers carry heated components with better control.
• Laboratory heat handling: Cotton construction and forearm coverage suit hot glassware or equipment tasks.
• Plastic manufacturing: Works well for hot molds and parts where palm grip matters.

Professional Applications

Workers Who Rely on This Equipment

• Welders: Use them for hot parts handling and general high-heat handling near weld zones.
• Metal fabricators: Rely on the silicone grip for moving heated components.
• Laboratory technicians: Use them when handling hot instruments or glassware.
• Machine operators: Wear them for routine contact with warm parts and tooling.
• Maintenance technicians: Use them for service work around heated equipment.
• Safety coordinators: Select them for task-specific hot work glove programs.

Complete Safety Equipment Solutions

Complementary Safety Gear

These heat resistant gloves work alongside other equipment for comprehensive protection on hot work jobs. Many teams build layered PPE systems because hand protection alone does not address every hazard in foundries, fabrication shops, or laboratories. All Safety often recommends matching the glove with job-specific eye, body, and arm protection.

Recommended Equipment Combinations

• Hot parts handling: Heat resistant gloves + safety glasses + heat-resistant aprons + arm guards
• Foundry transfer work: Heat resistant gloves + face shields + heat-resistant aprons
• Lab heating tasks: Heat resistant gloves + safety glasses + arm guards

Selection Guide and Product Suitability

When to Choose This Product

Choose these gloves when workers handle hot materials during indoor shifts and need strong palm grip. They also suit repetitive hot parts handling in manufacturing and fabrication settings. The extended cuffs add value when wrist and forearm coverage matter.

Key Evaluation Factors

• Heat level of the task and the ANSI 5 requirement
• Need for silicone stripes on the palm for grip
• Need for 6-inch knit cuffs and forearm coverage
• Cleaning and replacement expectations for your work cycle

Limitations and Alternative Considerations

These gloves are not suitable for tasks that require chemical resistance or cut protection beyond heat-focused handwear. For those applications, choose chemical gloves or cut-resistant work gloves instead. Available from All Safety with standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to suit project timelines.

Daily Use and Maintenance

Workplace Integration

Workers typically wear these gloves when handling hot materials or components during work shifts, especially in foundries, metal fabrication shops, laboratories, and plastic manufacturing areas. Position the 6-inch knit cuffs over the wrist and forearm per manufacturer instructions. This helps users keep the glove seated properly during regular movement.

Care and Replacement Guidelines

Inspect the glove condition, cuff integrity, and palm wear before use per manufacturer instructions. Manufacturers typically recommend washing and tumble drying, then storing the gloves in a clean, dry location away from contamination. Replace them when heat resistance, grip, or fabric integrity shows wear.
