At what temperature does the Nitrile rubber melt? These gloves may not be suitable for certain types of emergencies if the threshold is too low.

Didn't have them tested but i work in fishing industry and they didn't do very well in cold and wet conditions. Rubber started coming off in 3 days of use

I'm not what type of heat you have in mind but I've been using them for landscaping purposes in 100 degree weather & they hold up great but like said I don't know about other fields where high heat is involved such as wielding (seeing as how I only use them for landscape & gardening purposes) I'm not a welding expert but I don't these gloves would be well serving in an environment like that I think these are more build for construction. I hope that answers your question

Excellent question. I use this product to repair vacuum sweepers. The highest continual temperature exposed would be about 120 deg. with no problems. It appears that the product is thinned out superglue with plastic dust as its filler. Most plastics can with stand heat to about 250-300 deg. before melting. The product is top notch and has a plethora of uses . Get it and experiment with a heat gun. God Bless -Pat Brabbs

Possibly ask the manufacturer? I know this is months late and I apologize for neglecting the email. I don't think it is a terribly high temp, but I wouldn't touch it with bare skin. It melted the stencil material that I bought to use with it just fine; I'm thinking it's in the ballpark temperature of a wood-burning pen, but I don't know how many degrees that is.

Not recommended for exposure to hot liquids as the base material would likely allow penetration through to fingers and hands. The gloves are highly resistant to hot objects and steam (up to 640 degrees F), ideal for handling pots, pans, broilers out of the oven, but if resistance to hot liquids is a requirement, best to get gloves specifically designed for that environment -- these gloves are not!

The reason you don't use gloves, is that it will partially melt the rubber, which means you are also absorbing some rubber.

Looked at the paperwork that came with the unit, but it didn't say anything about operating temperature. The extinguisher is very high quality but I can't help with an answer to your question. I'm very happy with mine.

I can't answer that because I am using this inside as an anchor for my desktop trackball at work. Not very many temperature extremes in there.

Yes... the specs say do not exceed 350F for the probe itself... the problem is that the probe is ok beyond that, but the rubber insulation on the wire melts above 400F as I found out the hard way. Since the probe is not detachable from the wire I do not exceed 350F with the new probe I had to buy.

Direct contact with fire is not advisable. The fingers are still vulnerable and the fabric may catch on fire. This is meant to keep your arms from being scorched from high heat.

I've never tired using the gloves with Chemicals, but I've found by reading on line, that some have experenced melting of the glove when using varnish, and other chemicals. So don't think I'd try using them for anything beyond domistic soap and water cleaning.

Sorry I don't know the actual temperature. Suffice to say that once the wax has melted on high, it is too hot to immerse your hand. Usually I would turn the temperature to medium and let it cool a little bit while still staying liquid.

I think they could maybe handle it in that they wouldn't melt, but they are really thin plastic and would be uncomfortable to hold when really warm. Personally I wouldn't chance it. They're really bad quality.

How long can you hold the pot? I would say, with complete confidence, that these pretty red mitts will protect your hands with near zero heat transference, for as long as you have the strength to hold it. Heat has simply never transferred to my hands at all at any oven temp I normally employ, so I feel very confident at temperatures up to 450*F. My home oven's maximum temperature setting is 500*F. The following statement from Wikipedia, in my opinion, is the final word on the matter of heat transference:"Silicone rubber offers good resistance to extreme temperatures, being able to operate normally from −100 to 300 °C (−148 to 572 °F)." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber#PropertiesHappy Baking!

Hot enough that you cannot hold you finger on it for more than half a second, but not so hot that it would catch something on fire. Not sure about exact temp, but I would say 120 degrees.

No, silicone is a high temperature polymer. Nothing I have taken out of the oven, up to 450F has damaged the gloves.

The thermometer won't read anything that is below a certain temperature. It's in the user's manual, but I think it is around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it possible what you were measuring was below this threshold? I've only seen this message when trying to take the temperature of an inanimate object. I hope this is helpful.

I've skied quite a lot lately in really cold weather and I'd say -5F is close to the lower limit for this wax. It's like skiing without wax not like skiing with a wax that is really slowing you down. I wouldn't know what to recommend for below -5F.
