Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material is dependant on the penetration times, rates of diffusion and degradation.
Material of gloves
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further aspects of qualityand varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior tothe application.
Penetration time of glove material
The exact break through time has to be established by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
For prolonged contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
Nitril rubber, chloroprene and PVC.
Butyl rubber or PVC
Butyl rubber
Nitril rubber
