Leather Protector Considerations • Protector must meet ASTM specification F696 • Protector should always be worn over Rubber Insulating Gloves. • This prevents mechanical damage to the Rubber Insulating Gloves, except for those conditions detailed in ASTM F496. • Protector must be properly sized and shaped to avoid deformation or damage. • Minimum distances between gauntlet and cuff are listed in the table shown. For more details on leather protectors or rubber gloves, please refer to ASTM D120, F496 and F696.
