When it comes to firefighting PPE, it’s not enough to “say” the gloves are protective—you need verifiable performance. HySafety 7882 is designed for structural firefighting with a protection system that combines durability, heat resistance, flame retardancy, moisture/contamination barrier performance, and improved dexterity for real operations.

Why Structural Firefighting Gloves Need System-Level Protection

Structural fire incidents can include:

• High heat and radiant energy
• Flame exposure and hot debris
• Abrasion, tearing, and puncture risks from tools and materials
• Wet and contaminated environments where moisture barriers matter
• Constant grabbing and operation of equipment—so flexibility and control are critical

The HySafety 7882 is engineered as a layered protective system, not just a single material.

Key Construction & Material Highlights of HySafety 7882

1) Outer Shell (Out shell): Durable, Soft, Water-Repellent, Low Absorption

The outer layer uses Eversoft cowhide , designed to deliver:

• Durable and soft hand feel
• Water repellent and low water absorption
• Washable while staying soft after washing
• Heat resistance and flame retardancy
• High abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance

2) Moisture Barrier: Flame Retardant Barrier for Added Protection

Porelle® moisture barrier helps support:

• Flame retardant moisture barrier performance
• Durability and breathability
• Help prevent exposure from chemical and bloodborne pathogen contamination routes

3) Thermal Liner: High Heat Resistance + Breathability

Kovenex® provides:

• Breathability
• High heat resistance

For strength and reliability, the glove also features Kevlar® stitching.

Tested Performance: Key Test Items at a Glance

Below are key test indicators shown for the glove’s structural protection performance:

• TPP Rating (cal/cm²)
  • Requirement: ≥ 35
  • Test result: > 60
• Time to Second-Degree Burn (s)
  • Requirement: > 10
  • Test result: 10.7 – 29.0
• Time to Pain (s)
  • Requirement: > 6
  • Test result: 8.1 – 13.1

These metrics help buyers evaluate how long the glove can maintain protective performance under heat exposure conditions.

Operation & Comfort Details That Matter in Real Use

HySafety 7882 includes practical design features such as:

• Elastic wrist for secure fit and stability during operations
• Roll-over seamless fingertips for strong mobility and better tool handling
• Reinforced cowhide palm for improved abrasion resistance where contact is frequent
• 
  

Compliance & Environmental Note (PFAS)

The glove information provided includes a PFAS statement: total fluorine concentration not more than 100 ppm—supporting compliance and environmental communication needs for procurement teams.
