About this product .

The Honeywell INAFG40 Arc Flash Glove is built with an advanced flame-retardant outer shell engineered to deliver thermal defense during electrical arc exposure. Tailored from an inherently flame-resistant, anti-static aramid fabric, the material remains pliable and soft to reduce hand fatigue while maintaining physical barrier integrity under extreme thermal flux.
Rated at an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) of 40 cal/cm², this protective handwear meets the stringent demands of NFPA 70E PPE Category 4 environments. The entire glove assembly is precision-stitched with high-tensile Nomex thread to prevent seam unraveling or thermal breach during instantaneous arc events.
Ergonomics and operator ease are enhanced via a 14-inch gauntlet profile executed in a classic clute-cut pattern. An integrated lightweight, breathable inner liner promotes active heat dissipation and moisture regulation, ensuring steady tactile grip and tool manipulation during extended service intervals.
Tested in strict compliance with ASTM F1506, NFPA 70E, and ASTM F2675 standards, the glove safeguards electrical workers against catastrophic convective and radiant arc flash burns. Each pair arrives sealed in an individual protective storage pouch accompanied by standard manufacturer care and operation documentation.
Designed for mission-critical industrial infrastructures, the glove is deployed across power transmission utilities, electrical switchgear maintenance, breaker rooms, energized plant shutdowns, heavy metals manufacturing, and petrochemical facilities.
Users must note that arc thermal handwear protects strictly against arc flash thermal blasts and does not provide electrical insulation. For direct electrical contact or energized conductor servicing, certified dielectric rubber insulating gloves with appropriate leather protectors must be utilized instead.
Maintenance requires pre-shift visual inspections for holes, thread breakage, chemical splashes, or heavy grease contamination. Garments should be laundered in water below 60°C using standard mild detergents, avoiding chlorine bleaches, fabric softeners, or soaps that degrade flame-resistant properties.

PPE Ensemble Integration and Electrical Safety Compatibility

System Integration Within NFPA 70E PPE Category 4 Ensembles

The Honeywell 40 cal/cm² Arc Flash Gloves (Model: INAFG40 / KT Ref: KTI1501800140CAL) are designed as specialized thermal handwear components engineered strictly for integration into full-body arc-rated protective clothing systems. In high-energy industrial electrical environments, protective gear operates on the principle of uniform system protection: the PPE item with the lowest Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) dictates the maximum protection level of the entire ensemble.

To maintain full NFPA 70E Category 4 compliance across energized work zones, these 40 cal/cm² ATPV gloves must be paired with similarly rated or higher-rated protective equipment, including:

40 cal/cm² arc flash protective coats or jackets
40 cal/cm² arc flash bib overalls or protective pants
40 cal/cm² arc-rated hoods with integrated face shields
Compliant dielectric eye protection (safety glasses)

Thermal Burn Protection vs. Electrical Shock Hazards

A critical operational distinction must be observed when specifying these gloves: arc flash gloves provide thermal burn protection against the radiant heat and intense blast of an electric arc; they DO NOT provide dielectric electrical insulation against direct electrical shock or electrocution.

When maintenance or troubleshooting tasks expose personnel to direct contact with energized conductors or shock hazards, workers must not use fabric arc flash gloves. In such conditions, certified voltage-rated dielectric rubber insulating gloves fitted with compatible leather protector gloves must be utilized instead to ensure dual shock and mechanical puncture defense.

Hazard Type	Honeywell INAFG40 Fabric Arc Gloves	Dielectric Rubber Gloves with Leather Protectors
Arc Flash Thermal Blast (Up to 40 cal/cm²)	Compatible (Rated ATPV 40 cal/cm²)	Application-specific (Dependent on leather protector arc rating)
Direct Conductor Contact / Voltage Shock	Incompatible (Provides zero shock insulation)	Compatible (Rated by voltage insulation class)
Flame & Thermal Ignition Resistance	Compatible (Flame-retardant outer shell, Nomex thread)	Requires specialized arc-tested outer protectors

Garment Interface and Mechanical Compatibility

Featuring a 14-inch total length and a clute cut pattern, these gloves provide extended gauntlet coverage over the wrist and lower forearm. This 14-inch dimension ensures smooth overlap with the cuffs of 40 cal/cm² protective jackets or coats, preventing forearm exposure and sleeve roll-back during overhead switching or manual cabinet operations. Tailored in a 'One size fits most' profile with an inherently flame-retardant, anti-static outer shell and a breathable inner liner, the handwear integrates smoothly with primary electrical safety gear across power generation, utility substations, circuit breaker rooms, switchgear panels, cement plants, mining, oil and gas, and pharmaceutical switchrooms.

Maintenance, Inspection, and Laundering Guidelines for Honeywell 40 cal/cm² Arc Flash Gloves

Proper maintenance, regular physical inspection, and correct laundering procedures are critical to maintaining the 40 cal/cm² Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) of the Honeywell INAFG40 arc flash gloves (KT ref: KTI1501800140CAL). Because these 14-inch clute-cut protective gloves rely on an inherently flame-retardant aramid blend outer shell and specialized Nomex thread stitching to shield against electrical arc flash heat blasts, improper handling or exposure to chemical agents can severely degrade their thermal defense properties.

Pre-Use and Post-Use Visual Inspection

Electrical safety technicians, safety officers, and industrial maintenance personnel must conduct a thorough visual and mechanical inspection before each use. Never deploy arc flash gloves without checking for damage that could compromise safety during high-energy switching, breaker panel access, or utility substation maintenance.

Seam Integrity: Examine all structural stitching across the clute-cut palm, fingers, and gauntlet. Confirm that the Nomex thread is completely intact without fraying, thinning, unraveling, or pulled stitches.
Fabric Integrity: Check the entire navy blue aramid blend outer shell and inner liner for physical tears, worn thin spots, cuts, snags, or punctures. Any rupture in the multi-layer fabric assembly permits thermal energy penetration.
Surface Contaminants: Inspect the exterior fabric for contamination from grease, motor oil, flammable lubricants, hydraulic fluids, solvent spillage, or conductive metal dust. Hydrocarbon buildup on arc PPE is flammable and drastically diminishes the inherent flame resistance of the material.

Laundering and Decontamination Protocol

When washing is required to remove soil and sweat accumulation from the breathable inner liner and anti-static outer shell, strict washing parameters must be followed to avoid damaging the flame-resistant fibers and specialized thread.

Maintenance Parameter	Specification / Permitted Practice	Prohibited Practice / Restriction
Water Temperature	Wash in warm water not exceeding 60°C	Do not boil or exceed 60°C wash cycles
Detergent Chemistry	Standard mild synthetic commercial detergents	No natural soaps (salts of fatty acids)
Bleaching Agents	Non-chlorine formulation only (if needed)	No chlorine bleach, no oxygen bleaches (hydrogen peroxide)
Fabric Conditioners	Not permitted	No fabric softeners, antistatic sprays, or laundry starch
Drying Method	Tumble dry at normal temperature setting	Do not over-dry; avoid extreme commercial heat drying

Natural soaps react with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water to deposit insoluble fatty acid residues onto the textile fibers, which can ignite during an electrical arc event. Similarly, chlorine and oxygen bleaches chemically degrade the aramid polymer backbone and the structural strength of the Nomex thread. Fabric softeners coat fibers with flammable organic compounds and must never be introduced to the wash cycle.

Storage, Handling, and Retirement Criteria

When not actively deployed in the switchgear room or industrial plant, store the gloves in their original individual pouch in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated storage area away from direct sunlight, sharp metal tooling, and aggressive industrial vapors. Master storage should be kept in protective carton packaging.

Remove the gloves from active service and retire them immediately if the outer shell suffers open punctures or severe mechanical tearing, if seams stitched with Nomex thread fail or separate, or if deep petroleum-based or chemical contamination cannot be thoroughly removed through standard washing. Remember that the Honeywell INAFG40 fabric gloves provide thermal burn protection only and do not provide electrical insulation against electrical shock; whenever contact with energized conductors is possible, voltage-rated dielectric rubber insulating gloves must be utilized.

Industrial Applications and Arc Flash Hazard Scenarios

The Honeywell INAFG40 arc flash protective gloves (KT Automation ERP ref: KTI1501800140CAL) are engineered to deliver 40 cal/cm² Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) protection across electrical infrastructure with high incident energy levels. Built with an inherently flame-retardant, anti-static aramid blend outer shell and assembled with heavy-duty Nomex thread, these 14-inch clute-cut gloves shield hands and forearms from intense radiant heat and thermal blasts during switching, maintenance, and testing tasks.

High-Voltage Electrical Substations and Utility Operations

Utility electrical crews operate switchgear, disconnect switches, and power distribution transformers exposed to extreme incident energy hazards. The 40 cal/cm² rating meets the criteria for high-energy boundary operations where utility lines and substation distribution equipment pose significant thermal risks.

Substation maintenance routines, including manual rack-in and rack-out operations of medium-voltage switchgear.
Inspection of secondary distribution networks and high-voltage transformer yards.
Underground electrical distribution vaults where potential arc flashes occur in confined spaces.

Switchgear Rooms, Circuit Breakers, and Motor Control Centers (MCC)

Industrial breaker rooms and electrical distribution panels frequently operate under loads capable of releasing significant thermal energy in fault conditions. These gloves provide the required NFPA 70E compliance layer when personnel interface directly with switchboard compartments and feeder circuit breakers.

Operation of manual disconnect switches, interrupters, and heavy-duty bus tie breakers.
Racking in power circuit breakers and verifying de-energization using certified testing instruments.
Visual and thermal inspections within energized switchgear cubicles during plant shutdowns.

Heavy Process Industries: Metals, Cement, Mining, and Oil & Gas

Continuous-process industrial plants maintain severe electrical demand, requiring robust protective handwear during scheduled turnarounds and emergency equipment servicing. The Navy Blue, anti-static aramid fabric construction supports harsh operational demands across diverse industrial sectors.

Oil & Gas and Refining: Operating main distribution switchboards, explosion-proof panels, and offshore power systems.
Metals and Mining: Servicing high-draw electric arc furnace feed panels, smelting distribution controls, and heavy crushing drive switchgear.
Cement and Heavy Manufacturing: Handling energized control cubicles and drive distribution units subjected to continuous industrial operations.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Managing cleanroom power distribution centers, central HVAC electrical rooms, and uninterrupted plant power switchboards.

Critical Boundary Demarcation: Thermal Arc Blast vs. Shock Hazards

It is vital for safety officers and electrical supervisors to distinguish between thermal arc hazards and electrical shock risks. Fabric arc flash gloves protect strictly against the thermal burn injuries produced by arc blasts.

Hazard Type	Protective Capability of Honeywell INAFG40	Correct Operational Protocol
Arc Flash Thermal Energy (up to 40 cal/cm²)	Provides full thermal protection conforming to ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E.	Wear as part of a complete 40 cal/cm² ensemble (hood, coat, bib overall).
Direct Voltage / Electrical Shock	No shock protection. Does not insulate against energized conductors.	Do not use fabric arc gloves. Use voltage-rated dielectric rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors.

Integration in NFPA 70E Category 4 PPE Ensembles

The INAFG40 arc flash gloves operate as one component of an integrated personal protective system. In high-incident environments, handwear protection must not exceed or fall below the protection category of the bodywear. These free-size, 14-inch gloves integrate beneath or over the sleeves of 40 cal/cm² arc flash coats or jackets, preventing thermal gap exposure at the wrist during movement.
