Dielectric Gloves

Rubber insulating gloves manufactured from natural rubber (NR) or synthetic rubber that provide electrical shock protection for workers performing tasks on or near energized electrical equipment. Classified by maximum AC voltage rating per ASTM D120: Class 00 (500V AC, beige), Class 0 (1,000V AC, red), Class 1 (7,500V AC, white), Class 2 (17,000V AC, yellow), Class 3 (26,500V AC, green), Class 4 (36,000V AC, orange). Testing: each glove is inflated and electrically proof-tested at specified voltages before leaving the factory. In service: gloves must be visually inspected and air-tested (inflate by rolling cuff, squeeze, check for leaks) before EVERY use. Electrically retested every 6 months per ASTM D120 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.137 — expired gloves must not be used. Always worn with leather protector gloves over the rubber gloves to prevent physical damage (cuts, punctures, abrasion) that would compromise electrical integrity. Per ASTM D120, NFPA 70E, and NOM-029-STPS (Mexico electrical safety). Used together with dielectric mats (ASTM D178) and dielectric footwear as a complete electrical insulation PPE system. Manufacturers: Salisbury (Honeywell), Cementex, Hubbell, Regeltex. Proper storage: flat or hanging, no folding, away from sunlight and ozone sources.
