Porelle Inserts for Technical Gloves
The Porelle technical inserts range has been designed specifically for use in technical gloves. They have been extensively used by leading manufacturers of:
• Fire-fighters gloves
• Search & Rescue/ Extrication gloves
• Police Crowd Control/ Riot gloves
• Police Motorbike gloves
• Military Combat gloves
• Military Cold and Weather gloves
• Institutional/ Workwear gloves
Porelle Insert Technology in Technical Gloves
The user requirements of a technical glove have to be met by a balance of competing design parameters. The glove must not restrict the wearer's ability to perform a series of complex tasks, but at the same time must provide high levels of protection against a number of potential hazards, as well as maintaining wearer comfort in use. A glove insert is used in the construction of a technical glove, sandwiched between the outer layer and the inner liner.
requirements of the glove to give improved fit and dexterity.
• Ease of Use - designed to be integrated into the glove without tendency
to pull-out or slip when in use.
• Waterproof and Breathable - Porelle technical inserts are waterproof and extremely breathable,
ensuring excellent wearer comfort and dry hands in use.
• Offer protection - Porelle technical inserts have been developed offering a range of additional
performance benefits that include: chemical resistance (to a range of petrochemicals,
acids and alkalis), viral and blood borne pathogen resistance and flame resistance.
International Standards
When used in technical gloves, Porelle technical inserts have been specifically developed to be compliant with the performance requirements of international standards.
Key test standards include:
• Liquid Penetration resistance - Porelle inserts are compliant with requirements for resistance
to chemicals as specified in ASTM F903 and EN 368.
• Viral Penetration resistance - Porelle inserts are compliant with the requirements
for resistance to viral and blood borne pathogens as specified ASTM F1671.
• Durable - Porelle inserts are very durable during use and when donned and doffed, significantly
exceeding liner retention test requirements specified in the NFPA 1971:2007 edition.
• Flame Resistance - Fully compliant with the requirements for flames resistance as stated in NFPA 1971:
2007 and EN 659: 2003 standards.
• International Glove Standards - Fully compliant with the requirements stated in
NFPA 1971: 2007 and EN 659: 2003 standards for fire fighter gloves.

A glove insert is used in the construction of a technical glove, sandwiched between the outer layer and the inner liner.
The insert is vital to glove performance providing:
• Waterproofness
• Breathability (vapour transfer)
• Blood borne pathogen resistance
• Viral protection
• Chemical protection
The insert must not limit other glove requirements:
• Dexterity/ grip
• Tactility
• Durability
• Resistance to liner pullout
Porelle technical inserts utilise high performance membranes based on hydrophilic, microporous or PTFE film technologies. They have been developed to meet the competing design parameters with technical glove performance in mind. They have been designed to be:
• Light and Flexible - so as not to limit the dexterity or tactility of the gloves.
