TIG & MIG Welding Gloves

1 2 NEXT

Professional welders face extreme thermal and mechanical hazards daily, from intense radiant heat and ultraviolet light to molten metal splatter and sharp steel edges. Selecting the correct welding gloves is critical, as no single glove is perfect for every welding process. The right pair must strike a precise balance between maximum thermal insulation (to prevent severe burns) and high tactile sensitivity (to ensure fine puddle control and torch manipulation).

We manufacture and supply a comprehensive range of heavy-duty and precision welding gloves, engineered to meet EN 407, EN 388, and EN 12477 (Type A & B) safety standards:

TIG Welding Gloves (High Dexterity): TIG welding produces lower heat but requires extreme precision. Our TIG gloves are crafted from premium, unlined top-grain goatskin or pigskin. This exceptionally soft, thin leather provides the "bare-hand" tactile sensitivity necessary for smoothly feeding filler rod, while still offering excellent flame and spark resistance.
MIG & Stick Welding Gloves (High Heat): MIG and Stick (SMAW) welding generate massive amounts of heat and molten spatter. These gloves are constructed from heavy-duty split cowhide leather. They feature full cotton or fleece thermal linings to absorb sweat and block radiant heat, along with reinforced palm patches for handling heavy, abrasive metal plates.
Kevlar® Stitched Seams: Intense heat and sparks can quickly burn through standard cotton thread, causing a glove to fall apart. All our professional-grade welding gloves are sewn with high-strength Kevlar® or ParaActiv™ aramid thread, ensuring the seams remain intact even under direct flame exposure.
Extended Gauntlet Cuffs: A welder’s wrists and lower forearms are highly vulnerable to "arc flash" (UV burns) and falling slag. Our welding gloves feature 5-inch to 6-inch extended split-leather gauntlet cuffs to securely bridge the gap between the glove and the welding jacket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between TIG, MIG, and Stick welding gloves?

The difference lies in the balance of heat protection versus dexterity. Stick and MIG welding produce high heat and heavy molten spatter, requiring thick cowhide gloves with thermal linings for maximum protection (less flexibility). TIG welding produces less spatter but requires extreme precision to feed the filler wire, so TIG gloves are made from thin, unlined goatskin or pigskin to maximize finger dexterity.

Q: Why are welding gloves sewn with Kevlar thread?

Standard cotton or polyester thread will melt, burn, or degrade quickly when exposed to the intense heat, sparks, and molten slag produced during welding. Kevlar (aramid) thread is inherently flame-resistant and possesses extremely high tensile strength. Sewing welding gloves with Kevlar ensures the structural integrity of the glove remains intact under severe thermal stress.

Q: What does the EN 12477 standard for welding gloves mean?

EN 12477 is the European standard specifically for protective gloves for welders. It combines tests from EN 388 (mechanical risks like abrasion and cuts) and EN 407 (thermal risks like radiant heat and molten splash). The standard categorizes gloves into two types: Type A provides higher heat and mechanical protection but lower flexibility (ideal for MIG/Stick), while Type B provides lower heat protection but higher flexibility (ideal for TIG).

Q: Can I use heavy-duty leather rigger gloves for welding?

It is highly discouraged. While rigger gloves are made of leather, they often have exposed cotton canvas backs or synthetic components that can instantly catch fire or melt when hit by welding sparks. They also lack the extended gauntlet cuffs needed to protect the forearms, and they are rarely sewn with heat-resistant Kevlar thread. Always use certified, purpose-built welding gloves.
