Q: How do I choose chemical-resistant gloves?
A: Consider the type, concentration, and exposure method of chemicals, environmental temperature, and usage habits. Refer to the glove performance data tables in this manual or consult a safety product specialist.
Q: How long can chemical-resistant gloves be used?
A: Usage duration depends on environmental conditions, chemical properties, user habits, maintenance, and glove material/strength. Consult a safety specialist for specific guidance.
Q: How to detect permeation and when to discard gloves?
A: Discard gloves immediately if:
- Discoloration occurs (especially in high-exposure areas like fingertips).
- Swelling (material absorbs solvent and expands).
- Cracks or liquid penetration.
- Hardening or brittleness.
Q: What gloves are suitable for oily environments?
A: Use nitrile-coated gloves (e.g., Nitrile-Coated Oil-Resistant Cut-and-Slip-Resistant Gloves) based on oil content, breathability, and abrasion resistance requirements.
Q: What gloves are recommended for dry/mildly oily environments requiring abrasion resistance and flexibility?
A: Use Polyester PU-Coated Gloves or Nylon PU-Coated Gloves. Consult the selection guide or a specialist.
Q: What gloves protect against minor cuts, punctures, and brief contact (15 seconds) with 200°C objects?
A: Natural Latex-Coated DEXGRIP Gloves provide mechanical protection (EN388:2142) and withstand 250°C for 15 seconds.
Q: Why don’t my cut-resistant gloves perform as expected?
A: Sharpness, weight, and usage conditions affect performance. Select gloves tailored to specific risks.
Q: Is testing cut resistance with a utility knife valid?
A: No. GB/T24541-2009 requires standardized cut testing. For cut risks, use Dyneema Cut-Resistant Gloves or High-Performance Composite Cut-Resistant Gloves.
Q: How to choose high-temperature-resistant gloves?
A: Base selection on heat source temperature, heat transfer method, proximity, and contact duration. Consult a specialist.
Q: What is “intermittent contact”?
A: Typically 15 seconds, as per standard testing protocols.
Q: What gloves protect against liquid nitrogen splashes?
A: Select gloves compliant with EN511, capable of intermittent protection at -170°C (e.g., Cryogenic Gloves).
Q: What gloves are suitable for painting operations?
A: Use Composite Film Gloves for aromatic solvents (e.g., xylene). Pair with Nitrile Rubber Gloves for durability.
Q: What is the difference between metal mesh and fabric cut-resistant gloves?
A: Metal Mesh Gloves (EN1082-1 compliant) protect against knife cuts/punctures, commonly used in meat processing.
