Ansell ActivArmr 42-474 gloves

Ansell ActivArmr 42-474 Heat-Resistant Work Gloves

When you're working with hot materials and need reliable hand protection, the Ansell ActivArmr 42-474 gloves deliver serious performance without compromising on comfort. These heat-resistant work gloves are engineered for jobs that demand both thermal protection and dexterity, making them ideal for anyone handling elevated temperatures up to 180°C.

What sets these hand protection gloves apart is their thoughtful construction. The sweat-absorbing inner lining keeps your hands comfortable during extended wear, whilst the fully coated nitrile exterior provides excellent grip on both dry and oiled surfaces. You'll appreciate the balance between protection and flexibility when you're performing precision tasks in challenging conditions. Whether you're in injection moulding, welding, structural work or testing environments, these gloves offer the reassurance of multi-layer defence against cuts, abrasions and thermal exposure.

The 330mm length provides extended wrist coverage, and the two-piece construction without inner seams means you get genuine comfort alongside protective performance. These aren't gloves that sacrifice one benefit for another, they simply work harder so you can work smarter.

Key Features

• Heat protection suitable for moderate thermal environments
• Extended wrist coverage protects against splashes and contact
• Nitrile coating provides cut and abrasion resistance
• Moisture-absorbing lining maintains comfort during continuous use
• Enhanced grip on wet, dry and oiled work surfaces

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

The Ansell ActivArmr collection has earned its place in professional workspaces across automotive manufacturing, steel production, welding operations and industrial fabrication. If you're selecting hand protection for roles involving thermal hazards, these gloves offer proven reliability that justifies the investment.

We particularly recommend these for professionals working across Automotive OEM environments, Construction and Installation projects, Offshore and wind industry operations, Steel Industry applications, and general Industry/Service roles. They're equally suited to Healthcare settings requiring thermal protection, Hospitality kitchens, and Food Industry applications where heat resistance matters.

The extended cuff design means you maintain protection even during dynamic movements, and the internal felt structure provides the kind of thermal barrier that makes a genuine difference when working near hot objects or in elevated temperature zones.
