2oTrimestre08 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 55 Updated Products Tomas Bodero adds new products to their line of heavy-duty gloves Consistent with its policy of always offer- ing consumers avant-garde solutions whenever hand protection is needed for heavy-duty tasks Tomas Bodero expands its line of gloves, with German KCL prod- ucts protecting the hands against extreme heat. There are still many work accidents caused by inadequate hand protection when working in environments where extreme radiant heat is a major hazard, as is the case with ovens. Conventional gloves will only partially protect, as weak screens against the strong positive thermal radiation so KCL has developed BrassTec®, the range of highly resistant gloves made from para-aramide, silicon and cotton fibres offering advanced mechanic protection in accordance to EN 388 standards (mechanic hazards). With the special palm coating BrassTec® guaran- tees the best combination: excellent grip and maximum resistance against contact heat of up to 300o C. The back of the hand fea- tures aluminium coating, offering excellent protection against radiant heat sources, of up to 1,000o C. The cone-like shape of the glove is ideal for easy donning and doffing. BrassTec® gloves are available in l sizes 9, 10 and 11, length 300 mm. Available models include: - Model 947 Brass Tec. For metalwork, foundries, laboratories, glass industry. Complies with EN 388:3443, EN 408:423343. - Model 660 Thermguard. Cotton-polyester glove, white, coated with black chloro- prene.

As this implies pressure pumping of abra- sive particles at 65-100 m/s, that will pro- duce a cleaning effect through erosion and abrasion, workers obviously need the best hand protection they can get. Tomas Bodero adds new special models to the range of hand protection solutions, suitable for this specific sector. Made from black latex and especially thick (0.7 mm), these gloves are available in three length versions, with smooth or textured finish PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
