SAP573 - Carbo-King High-Heat Foundry Mitt, 2100°F Rated, Large

Extreme Thermal Protection

The SAP573 Carbo-King Glass and Preox Mitt is engineered for the most demanding high-temperature industrial environments. Designed to withstand intermittent temperatures up to 2100°F, this mitt provides a critical barrier against extreme radiant and contact heat. The specialized construction utilizes a blend of Carbo-King glass fibers and Preox (pre-oxidized PAN fibers), materials renowned for their thermal stability and non-flammability. This makes the mitt an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) for operations involving molten metal, industrial ovens, and glass manufacturing.

Advanced Material Composition

Unlike standard welding gloves that rely on leather, the SAP573 leverages the properties of advanced technical textiles. Preox fibers are chemically treated to resist burning and maintain structural integrity under high thermal loads, while the glass fiber reinforcement adds durability and additional heat resistance. The mitt style is specifically chosen for high-heat applications to minimize surface area contact and allow for rapid doffing (removal) should the glove become compromised or too hot, a critical safety feature in foundry and casting operations.

Industrial Application

This large-sized mitt is tailored for professionals requiring maximum thermal defense. It is suitable for use in steel mills, aluminum foundries, ceramic firing, and heavy-duty welding applications where standard PPE would fail. The textile nature of the glove allows for flexibility while maintaining a thick insulating barrier. Users should note that while the material is rated for 2100°F, this typically refers to short-term contact or radiant exposure; continuous contact with objects at this temperature requires specialized handling protocols.
