EN 374-1:2016 Type A
EN 374-3:2016 is the determination of resistance to permeation by chemicals. Resistance to permeation is assessed by measuring the length of time it takes for a chemical to permeate the glove’s material.
EBT
Eco Best Technology (EBT) gloves decompose within 1 to 5 years in active landfills, whereas regular nitrile gloves need more than 100 years.
TPR
Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) is a composite material combining the attributes of both rubber and plastic. TPR efficiently redirects impact energy away from the bone, diminishing the intensity of the impact.
EN388:2016
EN388:2016 is a European standard for measuring the protective qualities of gloves against mechanical risks, including abrasion, blade cuts, tearing, and puncture resistance.
rPET
rPET, or recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, is a material created by recycling plastic products such as water bottles. It is strong, versatile, and eco-friendly, ideal for manufacturing sustainable safety gloves.
UV radiations
UV radiation consists of harmful rays from the sun that can damage the eyes. Riley safety glasses are designed with materials that block nearly 100% of UVA and UVB rays, protecting your vision during exposure.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a tough, transparent plastic that is highly resistant to impacts and scratches, making it ideal for durable safety glasses that protect eyes without obstructing vision.
