High Voltage Gloves are among the most important articles of personal protection for electrical workers. Incorporating high dielectric and physical strength, flexibility and durability, Salisbury rubber insulating gloves have earned the reputation for superior performance meeting and exceeding the requirements of current ASTM D120 specifications and IEC EN60903 Standards.

Salisbury rubber insulating gloves are manufactured by dipping porcelain forms into a tank of liquefied rubber. The thin layer of rubber which results is allowed to dry and the process is repeated until the required thickness is reached. Depending on the voltage class of the glove, this dipping-drying-dipping cycle may need to be repeated over 30 times. After the desired thickness is achieved, the gloves are allowed to dry. Once dry, they are cut to length, the reinforcing bead is rolled, and the ASTM label and manufacturing information is applied along with any additional permanent marking that may be requested. The gloves are cured in an autoclave under steam pressure and heat. After curing, the gloves are visually inspected. Gloves with visual imperfections are rejected. The gloves are then given a halogenation treatment (chlorination) to increase the comfort and wearability. The gloves are electrically tested following ASTM D120/IEC 903 specifications. Following the electrical test, the gloves are given a final visual inspection. The gloves are then ready to be boxed and shipped.

Cracking & Cutting Shown above is the damage caused by prolonged folding or compressing.		Chemical Attack This photo shows swelling caused by oils and other petroleum compounds.
Snags Damage shown here is due to wood and metal splinters and other sharp objects.		UV Checking Storing in areas exposed to prolonged sunlight causes UV checking.
Avoid Folding Gloves The strain on rubber at a folded point is equal to stretching the glove to twice its length.		Avoid Storing Inside Out Gloves should never be stored inside out. Storing gloves reversed strains the rubber severely and causes ozone cutting.
