Marigold keep working hands warm and safe
Marigold Industrial
Thermal protection range
With winter approaching, Marigold Industrial offer their thermal protection range that keep workers hands dry, safe and warm in cold conditions.
Winter brings extra hazards with low temperatures not only slowing blood circulation and affecting natural levels of grip but with wet and windy conditions also attacking the skin's natural defences.
For those faced with tough winter working conditions or indeed those who find themselves in freezing indoor environments, we offer a range of Hand and Arm Protection solutions depending on the work being undertaken.
With advances in fibre performance and manufacture, thermal protective gloves are not only warmer, but provide greater flexibility, dexterity and comfort, ensuring that hands can keep working even in the harshest conditions.
The thermal protection range includes:.
.
KT1 and KT2 Insulator range - ideally suited for use in the food and fishing industries, the KT1 and KT2 are manufactured using Thermolite fibre providing good thermal performance and excellent wicking properties.
The glove can be used as a liner or on its own.
KT2 Insulator will be available in a smaller size from January 2012.
.
PX-Insulator - Providing excellent comfort, dexterity and abrasion performance, the PX-Insulator is ideal for use in cold stores, construction and outdoor work being made with a seamless knitted 13 gauge blue thermal-active fibre with a blue coating on the palm and finger tips.
The thermal active fibre wicks perspiration away from the skin and dries 50% faster than cotton.
.
Yellow and Orange Viz PF Insulator - for use when really high performance against cold environments is required the Viz PF Insulator is ideally suited for those working in construction and service industries, the public sector and in chilled cold stores.
Designed to protect to temperatures below -30degC, the gloves are available in fluorescent yellow or orange and with a palm fit black natural rubber latex palm coating with a wrinkle finish.

Ideal for use in cold stores, construction and general outdoor work the XRT Insulator combines high comfort and flexibility with general protection, excellent abrasion resistance and good grip.
