Southern Glove Introduces a New Line of Flame-Retardant Gloves

NEWTON, NC, October 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Industrial glove manufacturer Southern Glove has announced that it is adding a new line of flame-retardant gloves to its comprehensive line of top-quality industrial work gloves, arm protection products, industrial aprons and cut-resistant products.

"Since 1945, Southern Glove has manufactured the top-quality products our industrial customers need to protect both their employees and their businesses," said Brent Fidler, President and CEO, Southern Glove. "Our new line of Blowout Shield flame-retardant gloves is just the latest example of how Southern Glove uses smart design to create protection for a wide variety of job applications and work environments."

Southern Glove's flame-retardant Blowout Shield gloves are available in two patterns. The IWFO269 and IWFG269 models are 22 ounces total weight with a wing thumb and twill palm pattern that offers comfortable freedom of movement with no seams in the wear area; the IFCCFO209 and IFCCFG209 models have an 18-ounce total weight and feature a straight thumb and a cotton-corded palm. Both versions are available in high visibility fluorescent green and orange colors.

Constructed from a rugged, fire-resistant outer material, Southern Glove's Blowout Shield flame-retardant gloves offer excellent abrasion resistance and are specially designed for flame resistance in case of a flash fire. They are independently certified for fire resistance and complete the protection offered by flame-retardant clothing. Each pair also features Southern Glove's Blowout Shield logo, is tagged with a flame-retardant label, and can be customized with the customer's logo on the back of the left glove.

Southern Glove also offers medium and heavy weight, flame-retardant hot mills suited for heavy industrial use such as steel, aluminum and glass. These olive drab gloves have a 100% cotton outer layer with one or two cotton liners. These styles are available with a band top or gauntlet cuff.
