Summary:Abstract The safety of firefighters during the intervention is determined by the performance of the personal protective equipment used. The behaviour of the materials used in the manufacture of protective gloves under the action of risk factors has a significant influence on the degree of safety it provides to the user. This paper presents the conditions that must be met by materials used in the manufacture of protective gloves for firefighters and describes the results of tensile and abrasion resistance tests obtained in the case of a material on which a treatment has been applied, to increase protective capabilities.
