PYROHIDE®

A world class top-grade grain analine cowhide leather developed originally for fire-fighters but now used where ever there is a risk of injury through heat and flame. PYROHIDE® is a soft, buttery leather providing resistance to fire, heat, water, salt water, liquid chemicals (sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, ethanol) and Man Made Mineral Fibres (MMFS). It is highly tactile in wet and dry conditions and dries soft following normal use. Manufactured in the UK by Southcombe Brothers using a proprietary formula, it is exclusive to our range of gloves.

Out-performing textiles in many aspects of heat protection, PYROHIDE® will not dis-colour, turn brittle and disintegrate like many aramid fibres but will continue to provide protection even under the most extreme conditions.
