FAQ
Chemical-resistant gloves are made to withstand hazardous chemicals. Common types include:
- Nitrile Gloves: Resist oils, grease, acids, caustics, and solvents
- Neoprene Gloves: Protect against oils, acids, caustics, and solvents
- Butyl Gloves: Shield from gases and highly corrosive acids like nitric and sulfuric acid
- PVC Gloves: Effective against acids, bases, oils, and fats
- PVA Gloves: Resist many solvents but are damaged by water
- Viton Gloves: Resist chlorinated and aromatic solvents, as well as concentrated acids
The thickness of chemical-resistant gloves can vary depending on the specific application and the chemicals being handled. Generally, thicker gloves provide better protection but may reduce dexterity. Common thicknesses include:
- 4-8 mils (0.1-0.2 mm): Suitable for light chemical handling where dexterity is important
- 8-12 mils (0.2-0.3 mm): Provides moderate protection for a wider range of chemicals
- 12-18 mils (0.3-0.5 mm): Offers higher protection for more hazardous chemicals and extended exposure
- 18-30 mils (0.5-0.8 mm) and above: Used for heavy-duty chemical handling where maximum protection is required
Reusing chemical-resistant gloves depends on:
- Chemical Type and Concentration: Dispose gloves after exposure to highly corrosive or permeating chemicals
- Exposure Duration: Short-term exposure to less harmful chemicals may allow for reuse if gloves are inspected and cleaned
- Condition: Discard gloves with any signs of wear, degradation, punctures, or tears
- Manufacturer Guidelines: Follow instructions for reuse; some gloves are single-use
- Cleaning: Clean and decontaminate gloves as recommended.
- Storage: Store cleaned gloves in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and chemicals
