Gloves for assembly and maintenance

Welding work and flame protection

Many of the common jobs of the assembly and maintenance team involve welding processes and cutting operations with tools that produce cast metal projections or tasks at high temperatures or with exposure to fire. These operations also imply the handling of the parts used.

The leather, with its different finishes, combined with insulating textile materials, is the basis of the protective equipment needed to be able to carry out this type of work. In these cases the skin is "irreplaceable".

There are different types of welding, Soft (with tin), that do not need specific protection for welding, Medium (copper) that is used in cold rooms (up to -300ºC) and in plumbing and Hard (with electrodes or tugsten, MIG or TIG) to finish off structures in use, manufacture new structures with iron or heavy metals (iron or stainless steel).

Handling of oiled or wet parts

In the field of industrial maintenance we find machinery and installations in wet, oily and greasy conditions.

Hydraulic machinery is heavy machinery that contains oil. Large tools are used for the maintenance thereof and the risk of oil impregnating the hands is high. The tasks that are typically performed are fixes of oil losses, filter changes and part or seal changes.
To be able to work safely in these environments, the glove must provide grip, dexterity and water-tightness and mechanical resistance, especially to abrasion.

The appropriate synthetic material for covering this type of glove is nitrile.

These gloves may have different coating grades, depending on the type of application.

Working in cold or extreme cold environments

Some work in certain industrial or outdoor environments can involve enduring low temperatures: maintenance work in freezing chambers, maintenance work in wind farms, installation and infrastructure maintenance work outdoors, in winter and in continental climate zones… People who perform these tasks need additional protection from the cold.

Working with risk of cuts

There are assembly and maintenance jobs involving the handling of materials with sharp and cutting edges , such as the handling of thin plates or flat glass.

In this selection, we offer you a range of gloves that can cover different risks. Each reference has different mechanical performances to suit every need.

Working with chemical risk

The start-up of some industrial facilities involves working with chemical products for the cleaning or treatment of parts, sealants, paints and solvents…

Maintenance also includes painting work on both the new iron structures and the repainting of the metal structures in use. Walls and floors are also often painted or repainted for signage.

Whether you are wearing a glove with support or not, there are different types of coating and it is important to know which one best protects you from the products you are going to use. The determining factors to choose the best glove are its resistance to permeation (passage of gas or vapour) and degradation.

In JUBA we recommend that you consult the specific resistance tables and test the glove before you use it.
