Specification for HYHEAT Blue Mittens 1000D

Duramitt’s HYHEAT Mittens are made from an outer over of Blue Vertex vermiculite coated fibreglass fabrics.  These fabrics can operate at service temperatures of 815ºC on a continuous basis and 1000ºC on a short term basis.  The insulation properties of the mittens are also enhanced by successive layers of wool linings.  These act as heat barriers, to provide the ultimate in thermal and abrasion resistance.
All of Duramitt’s HYHEAT Mittens features an oversize cut to enable quick entry and exit.  For the highest temperature application, it is recommended that mittens be used as there is less seam exposure and correspondingly, less heat transfer.  Cover mittens should be used in high heat situations to addition layers between the source of heat and the hand.
Duramitt’s HYHEAT Mittens come in 14 inch lengths. However, these reinforced mittens should not be used in wet environments when there is a possibility of overhead electrical cables causing a shock.
