Hand Protection
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.11 mm. Value for the permeation: Level ≥ 480 min. As protection from splashes gloves made of the following materials are suitable: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.11 mm. Value for the permeation: Level ≥ 480 min
