Cowhide itself has high heat resistance and can effectively block the high temperature generated during welding. Sparks, slag or splashing metal generated during welding are extremely hot. Cowhide Leather Welding Gloves can briefly contact and block these high-temperature particles to avoid direct burns to the skin.
Cowhide natural fibers are tight and can block most sparks and molten metal splashes, preventing them from penetrating the gloves and burning the hands. Even if high-temperature sparks fall on the surface of the gloves, the cowhide will slightly carbonize to form a protective layer instead of burning or melting quickly (synthetic materials may melt and adhere to the skin, causing more serious injuries).
High-quality cowhide gloves usually adopt a double-layer or multi-layer thickened design to increase the insulating air layer, delay the time for heat to be transferred to the skin, and provide workers with reaction time to avoid burns. When welding, it may be necessary to briefly contact the high-temperature workpiece. Cowhide gloves can reduce direct heat transfer and protect the palms and fingers.
The welding environment often has rough metal edges or tool friction. The high wear resistance of cowhide ensures that the gloves are not easily damaged during long-term use and maintain the integrity of protection. Tanned cowhide can resist hardening and brittleness caused by high temperatures and is more durable than ordinary rubber or synthetic leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme high temperatures: Although cowhide gloves are resistant to high temperatures, continuous exposure to heat sources exceeding 500°C may still cause carbonization and failure, and other protective measures (such as intermittent cooling) are required. If hardening, cracks or perforations appear on the surface of the gloves, they should be replaced immediately, otherwise the protective performance will be greatly reduced.
