An Experimental Study on Protective Gloves Used in Pakistan.

Abstract

This technical study deals with the experimental evaluation of four different safety gloves, used in Pakistan for protection of hands. The samples were prepared and tested according to their standard test methods EN-388. The samples for EN388 were subjected to three physical tests; puncture resistance (N), abrasion resistance (cycles), tear-resistance (N). The results revealed that the performance levels of synthetic leather/ PVC gloves were found higher than other gloves.
