Ironclad HEATWORX Heavy Duty Heat Resistant Gloves, Silicone Palm

The Ironclad HEATWORX Heavy Duty Heat Resistant Gloves, Silicone Palm is hand protection listed on Amazon by Ironclad. This page summarises the published specification and sets it against the ANSI/ISEA 105 rating system used across our hand protection range.

ironclad heatworx heavy duty heat resistant gloves — what the listing actually specifies

Key details from the Ironclad listing

A cut level is not a puncture, chemical or heat rating. ANSI/ISEA 105 scores those hazards on separate scales, and a glove chosen for blade contact can be the wrong glove for a needle, a solvent or a hot part. Anyone with a latex allergy must also check the liner and the coating material, not just the outer surface.

Where heat-resistant gloves fit in your PPE program

Hand injuries are among the most common workplace injuries, and the right glove depends entirely on the hazard - cut, puncture, chemical, heat, vibration, or simple abrasion. A glove that is excellent for one is often wrong for another, so compare our latex gloves, vinyl gloves, and cut-resistant gloves against the task rather than buying one glove for everything.

What the standard requires

ANSI/ISEA 105 rates cut resistance A1 to A9, along with abrasion, puncture, and chemical-permeation performance. OSHA 1910.138 requires hand protection appropriate to the hazard rather than one specific rating, so the ANSI marks are how you document that the glove suits the job. See leather work gloves and chemical-resistant gloves for adjacent categories.

How to choose the right one

Identify the primary hazard, choose the rating that covers it, then size for dexterity. Thicker gloves protect more and feel less; coated palms add grip in wet or oily work. For chemicals, always check breakthrough time for the specific substance. Compare heat-resistant gloves, insulated electrical gloves, and material-handling gloves.

Care, inspection and replacement

Inspect for cuts, thin spots, swelling, or stiffening before each use, and replace once the shell is breached - a cut-resistant glove loses its rating the moment it is penetrated. Store cool, dry, and out of sunlight. See welding gloves and mechanics gloves for the rest of the kit.

Who this suits - and who should look elsewhere

This suits workers whose main hazard matches the glove's rating - abrasion and grip for general handling, a cut level for blades and glass, a polymer and breakthrough time for chemicals, or a temperature range for heat. It is the wrong choice if your real hazard is different in kind: vibration, electrical shock, or impact each need a purpose-built glove. Compare disposable gloves and winter work gloves when the task mixes hazards, and never substitute a general work glove for voltage-rated protection.

How we assess this product

WC Safety is an independent PPE review and research site. We do not sell, ship, or stock anything, and we have not physically tested this heat-resistant glove. What we do is read the published Ironclad specification against the governing standard, flag what the listing does and does not state, and place the product in context next to the alternatives we cover. Where a number matters for compliance - a rating, a class, a temperature, a voltage - we take it from the manufacturer listing and expect you to confirm it on the live listing before you buy. The star rating on this page belongs to Amazon customers, not to us. Read more across our anti-vibration gloves and workplace PPE coverage.
