hydrocarbons resistant gloves. In case of repeated or prolonged contact wear gloves. recommended material: fluorinated polymer. polyvinyl alcohol. Layer thickness : all thicknesses. Breakthrough time : > 480 min. EN 374-3. In the event of contact with the liquid: Nitrile rubber gloves. Layer thickness : > 0,30 mm. Breakthrough time : > 60 min. EN 374-3. Gloves may degrade in contact with this chemical. - Carefully check the glove for cracks or damage before reusing it, dispose of gloves where the penetration time is exceeded. The penetration time depends on temperature, glove material, thickness and construction. Penetration time is measured against EN 374 in laboratory conditions corresponding to permanent static contact and is not necessarily representative of the risk in the workplace. Contact the gloves' supplier for further information on the selection and resistance of gloves.
