Dromex Insulating Glove Class 1/10000 V- 2/2000 V – 3/3000 V

The Dromex Insulating Glove Class 1 / 10 000 V – Class 2 / 20 000 V – Class 3 / 30 000 V is a specialised electrical safety glove designed to provide reliable protection for workers operating in environments where exposure to electrical hazards presents a significant risk. Engineered to meet the stringent requirements of electrical safety applications, these gloves are suitable for use across South Africa’s power generation, transmission and distribution sectors, municipal electrical departments, mining operations, industrial facilities, renewable energy installations, engineering projects, and electrical maintenance environments.

Designed exclusively for electrical purposes, these insulating gloves provide critical protection against electric shock and are intended for use when working on or near live electrical systems. Depending on the glove classification, they are suitable for electrical applications involving voltages up to their designated protection level, making them an essential component of personal protective equipment for electricians, electrical contractors, utility workers, maintenance technicians, and authorised personnel responsible for electrical installations and servicing.

The gloves are manufactured from high-quality insulating rubber and are classified with R and C category protection, offering enhanced resistance to environmental and workplace conditions that may affect glove performance. The R classification provides resistance to acids, oils, and ozone, helping to protect the gloves from degradation when exposed to industrial contaminants and environmental elements commonly encountered in South African industrial and outdoor working environments. The C classification indicates resistance to extremely low temperatures, ensuring the gloves maintain their flexibility and protective characteristics even when used in cold-weather conditions or temperature-sensitive applications.

A key advantage of the Dromex Insulating Glove is its high flexibility, which enables users to perform electrical tasks with greater comfort and precision while reducing hand fatigue during prolonged periods of wear. The ergonomic design allows for improved dexterity and natural hand movement, making it easier to handle tools, cables, switchgear, electrical connectors, and other equipment commonly used in electrical maintenance and installation work. This flexibility supports increased productivity without compromising safety.

The gloves are designed to fit comfortably when worn with protective leather overgloves, such as the Dromex Leather Overglove. When used together, the overglove provides protection against cuts, abrasions, punctures, and mechanical damage, helping to preserve the integrity of the insulating glove and extend its service life. This combination offers a comprehensive electrical hand protection system suitable for demanding industrial and utility applications.

To ensure maximum safety and compliance, each glove is individually electrically tested and supplied with an examination certificate. This testing verifies the glove’s insulating properties and confirms compliance with recognised electrical safety standards. The accompanying certification provides users and employers with documented assurance that the gloves have undergone rigorous inspection and testing prior to use, supporting workplace compliance and electrical safety management programmes.

The gloves feature an extended length of 360 mm (±15 mm), providing additional protection beyond the hand to cover the wrist and lower forearm area. This extended design helps reduce exposure to electrical hazards while ensuring greater overlap with protective clothing and other personal protective equipment. The added coverage is particularly beneficial in environments where comprehensive protection is required when working on live electrical equipment.

Suitable for use in electrical substations, power utilities, mining operations, manufacturing facilities, infrastructure projects, renewable energy installations, telecommunications networks, and municipal electrical maintenance programmes, the Dromex Insulating Glove provides essential protection for workers operating in high-risk electrical environments.

Combining certified electrical insulation properties, resistance to acids, oils, ozone, and extremely low temperatures, high flexibility, compatibility with leather overgloves, individual electrical testing with examination certification, and extended 360 mm forearm protection, the Dromex Insulating Glove Class 1 / 10 000 V – Class 2 / 20 000 V – Class 3 / 30 000 V offers dependable protection and performance for South African organisations committed to maintaining the highest standards of electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and worker protection.
