Handling chemicals is a daily task in many industrial sectors, where industrial cleaners, painters, farmers, chemists, maintenance workers and utility workers require adequate protection against corrosive or irritating substances. Acids, alkalis and solvents are part of the daily routine of these workers, so it is essential to use gloves that offer impermeability and resistance to these products. PVC gloves stand out for providing a complete waterproof barrier, making them particularly effective in wet or liquid environments. Their flexible material allows them to perform well even in temperatures as low as -20°C, as well as offering comfort over long periods of use, which is crucial in tasks requiring delicate handling.  In terms of durability, these gloves are highly resistant to abrasion, tearing and puncture, especially in the thicker models. This feature makes them an economical choice, as their service life is often longer compared to other materials. In addition, as they are free of latex proteins, they eliminate the risk of allergies, being an excellent alternative for people sensitive to this component. Their versatility allows them to be used in multiple sectors, such as the chemical industry, the food industry, hydrocarbon transport, refining, cleaning and the health sector. They also stand out for their resistance to low temperatures, maintaining their flexibility and protective properties in cold conditions, which makes them useful in cold rooms or adverse climates. Despite their many advantages, PVC gloves are not the best choice for tasks involving exposure to high temperatures or extremely sharp materials, as PVC may melt or puncture under these conditions. In addition, they offer less tactile sensitivity compared to latex or nitrile gloves and have lower cut resistance and elasticity than other materials. In any case, it is always essential to ensure that the glove is specifically designed for contact with the materials to be handled. New PVC gloves by Juba Juba has developed within its wide range of safety gloves new models made with PVC to offer greater protection in industrial environments: G3 gloves are designed to offer effective protection and a high level of comfort in various industrial applications. With a thickness of 0.55 mm, they provide an anatomical fit that improves ergonomics and user comfort. Their special formulation ensures exceptional comfort, allowing prolonged use without causing hand fatigue. The design incorporates an inner cotton flocking that absorbs perspiration, providing freshness and greater comfort during use. In addition, the soft and pleasant feel enhances the user experience. Thanks to their surface, they offer excellent grip in both wet and dry environments, making them ideal for multiple applications where precision and safety are required. Another advantage is their hypoallergenic composition, making them an ideal choice for people with allergies to latex or other materials. These gloves are available in sizes 7/S, 8/M, 9/L and 10/XL. As to packaging, Juba presents them in packs of 10 pairs and boxes of 120 pairs, making them easy to store and distribute in work environments.

In all jobs, it is essential that professionals are equipped with the appropriate clothing and accessories for the work they have to carry out on a daily basis, both for optimum efficiency in their professional activity and also for their safety against potential risks. People working inside cold rooms must wear approved clothing for those environments where temperatures can reach temperatures below -18ºC. In addition, this type of environment also demands quality products that are comfortable, practical and resistant. Importance of wearing certified cold protection clothing Approved clothing for cold rooms is that which offers the guarantee of meeting the requirements, in terms of safety and ergonomics, to carry out work in this type of spaces. These garments are designed and manufactured with materials resistant to low temperatures, so that they protect professionals from risks such as hypothermia, chilling and similar problems. In addition, they must guarantee that the people responsible for this task have the appropriate ergonomics to carry out all the necessary movements in their daily activity and/or with the products they must introduce or extract from it. Safety standards and regulations Workwear protecting against the cold is based on European standard EN 342, oriented to protect professionals exposed to extreme cold conditions, especially in environments with temperatures below -5ºC. Clothing approved to work in cold rooms must be certified to this standard, which measures the following parameters: Y(B): ICLER in [m2 K/W] Thermal insulation measured on a mobile manikin with B sub-garments. A mandatory parameter. AP: Air permeability class (quantified from 1 to 3). A mandatory parameter. WP: Resistance to water penetration. Optional so if the garment has not been tested, the corresponding marking will be X. Characteristics of PPE PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) recommended for cold rooms must fulfil two main objectives: to facilitate the work of the professional and to protect him/her at all times. Therefore, these garments are usually designed with the following properties: Thermal and waterproof materials, able to conserve body heat and protect against sub-zero temperatures. Ergonomics and freedom of movement, according to the needs of each job. Breathability and capacity to facilitate the evacuation of humidity, so that the professional is comfortable at all times. Essential types of clothing In cold rooms, professionals must be appropriately equipped, which implies having approved clothing that also includes the following essential garments: Protective gloves: designed to prevent loss of body heat, preferably resistant to water and moisture seepage and at the same time allowing the professional to work in a comfortable and safe manner. Jackets and other warm clothing: covering the entire torso and with protections such as elasticated cuffs, watertight fastenings and multi-layers. High-visibility clothing: essential in low-light environments or where vehicles operate with reflective elements to improve worker visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. Thermally insulated trousers: to prevent cold penetration of the lower body and with an ergonomic design to ensure freedom of movement. Footwear for cold environments: usually designed with waterproof and insulating materials and, as required, with non-slip soles.

Juba has added two brown cowhide references to its range of welding gloves. These new top quality gloves offer excellent protection against flames and radiant heat and are available in two different lengths, 204SMC WELDY without cuff with 32 cm and 204SML WELDY with cuff with 26 cm in total.  Like many other Juba references, this model has a wide range of sizes available, from size 7 or S to 11 or XXL, a fundamental aspect to guarantee comfort, safety and performance in the various work activities. The proper fit of safety gloves prevents slipping, discomfort or restricted movement, which not only protects workers from risks such as cuts, abrasions or impacts, but also improves efficiency and promotes ergonomics by adapting to the needs of each hand. Outstanding features The areas most exposed to wear and impact receive maximum protection thanks to the glove's additional reinforcement in the palm, thumb and knuckles. This provides extra strength in critical areas, protecting the wearer from cuts, abrasions and impacts, while extending the glove's lifespan, even in high-intensity tasks. The palm reinforcement improves grip and protects against wear and tear due to constant contact, the thumb reinforcement optimises durability in activities involving repetitive movements or pressure in this area and the knuckle reinforcement protects against accidental impacts, ideal for demanding industrial environments. On the other hand, this new Juba reference includes a specific reinforcement between the thumb and forefinger, a key area that is usually subject to a lot of wear and tear. This reinforcement is common in many work glove references, as it increases durability in this critical area and improves protection during activities that require intensive use of the gripper hand, such as holding tools, handling heavy materials or performing repetitive tasks. In addition, these welding gloves have been designed with the user's comfort and protection in mind, featuring a full lining that not only provides a more comfortable feel during use, but also acts as an additional barrier against heat, cold or friction, enhancing the welding glove experience. Also contributing to user comfort is the elasticated wrist seam, which provides a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring that the glove stays in place even during intense movements. This not only improves grip, but also prevents dirt, dust or particles from entering the glove, offering greater protection. On the other hand, its ergonomic design adapts to different wrist sizes, guaranteeing prolonged use without discomfort or excessive pressure. It is ideal for jobs that require precision and freedom of movement without compromising safety. The glove is sewn with para-aramid thread, a material known for its high resistance to heat, cuts and abrasion, guaranteeing exceptional durability even in extreme working conditions. This type of thread is ideal for applications such as welding, as it can withstand high temperatures without compromising the integrity of the glove. In addition, the thumb-mounted seam provides an ergonomic design that improves mobility and control, allowing for more precise handling of tools and materials. This combination of materials and design guarantees superior performance, especially in demanding industrial environments. Certified according to EN12477:2001+A1:2005, which combines the requirements of EN 388 for mechanical strength and EN 407 for flame and heat resistance. Specifically, these gloves are classified as Type A, with more general characteristics, so they are especially recommended for welding with Metal Inert Gas (MIG), where greater resistance to heat and less dexterity are required, as they are thicker. Not only can welders use this type of glove, but it is also recommended for use in furnaces, oxyfuel, laminates or shipbuilding. Juba offers this glove in two types of packaging: on the one hand, there is the option of 6 pairs per pack and, on the other hand, those who wish can purchase this reference in 60 pairs per box.

Work gloves are not an alternative, they are mandatory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) due to the specific risks faced by professionals. A very obvious example is that of welders, who require specialised gloves to protect them from high temperatures, sparks and possible burns. The work of these professionals therefore requires gloves made of heat-resistant materials such as leather or flame-retardant fibres, essential to ensure safety and performance in activities where exposure to risks is constant and significant. EN 12477:2001+A1:2005 combines the requirements of EN 388 for mechanical resistance and EN 407 for flame and heat resistance. Thereafter, welding gloves are classified as Type A with more general characteristics. Mostly recommended for metal inert gas (MIG) welding, where higher heat resistance and lower dexterity are required, so they are thicker. Or, Type B, which include models for more precise work.  Those professionals who need Type A gloves will now find 408PLUS by Juba, a black split cowhide leather glove for demanding work in contact heat, with lining on palm and back of hand for increased thermal properties. This Juba reference has a length of 36 cm and is made of 1,1mm/ 1,2mm thick leather. Any more details to know about this Juba reference?
