Ironclad HeatWorx® Heavy Duty Gloves Features
The Ironclad HeatWorx® Heavy Duty glove is the brand's most advanced heat-resistant glove, engineered to grasp objects up to 600°F. A seamless 3D molded silicone palm delivers high-temperature grip, while a 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® shell adds heat and cut protection. Silicone-laminated Kevlar® finger sidewalls shield critical contact zones during hot-parts handling.
Most high-heat gloves cite a temperature but hide the construction and standards safety officers need. This model resolves that gap with a documented EN388 4143B rating, ANSI A2 cut, ANSI Heat Level 5, and Puncture Level 3. A Kovenex® palm liner and Nomex® FR stitching complete an audit-ready thermal package.
Durability suits demanding hot-work environments. An extended gauntlet cuff protects the wrist and lower forearm, while the oil-resistant, washable construction extends service life. Knuckle impact protection guards the back of the hand during foundry, fabrication, and hi-temp automotive tasks.

Laboratory and Industrial Applications
Foundries, metalworking shops, and glass-handling operations use the HW6X to grasp hot stock, castings, and tooling where lower-rated gloves fail. The molded silicone palm secures slick hot objects, while the Kevlar® shell adds the cut resistance needed around sheet metal and sharp edges.
Hi-temp automotive, demolition, and manufacturing-assembly teams rely on the gauntlet cuff and finger sidewall protection during sustained heat exposure. Welding support tasks and military field maintenance round out the profile, where extreme thermal protection and controlled dexterity must coexist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum temperature these gloves handle?
The molded silicone palm allows grasping objects up to 600°F (315°C). This is the brand's most advanced heat glove, carrying an ANSI Heat Level 5 rating for extreme thermal contact tasks.
Do these gloves also resist cuts?
Yes. The 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® shell provides an ANSI A2 cut rating alongside its heat protection, making the HW6X suitable for hot work that also involves sheet metal and sharp edges.
What is the difference between the HW6X and the FR version?
The standard HW6X is rated for 600°F contact heat and cut protection. The separate HW6XFR variant adds NFPA 2112 flash-fire certification; specify the FR model if flame certification is required for your application.
