Leather welding gloves are personal protective equipment that protects welders' hands from welding hazards. These gloves allow knuckle movement, leather welding gloves simultaneously protect the operator from electrical shock, extreme heat, UV and IR rays and provide abrasion resistance and enhanced grip.
Generally made of animal leather products, such as cowhide or pigskin. For individual glove varieties that require high elasticity, sheepskin is used.
The main material of leather welding gloves is leather or hide, which comes from the hides of various livestock. Cowhide, buckskin, elk, goat, and pigskin offer varying levels of comfort, often in stark contrast to the glove's durability. The application largely determines the preferred material, and welding gloves are generally classified into three levels of comfort/durability. Marked with unique welding patterns, these gloves can be used in a variety of welding procedures.
