Protective gloves

Check the condition of the gloves prior to each use.

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.

After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.

Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.

Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm

Butyl rubber, BR

Nitrile rubber, NBR

· Penetration time of glove material

EN 420: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

The exact break through time has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

For the mixture of chemicals mentioned below the penetration time has to be at least 6 minutes (Permeation according to EN 374 Part 3: Level 480).
