6 precautions for the selection of protective gloves
Protective gloves are used in a wide range of occasions, but many manufacturers are unruly when choosing protective gloves. Combining many years of experience, the author briefly talks about several things that need to be paid attention to when choosing protective gloves.
1. There are many varieties of protective gloves, which should be selected according to their protective functions. The protection object should be clarified first, and then carefully selected. Such as acid and alkali resistant gloves, strong acid (alkali) resistant, low-concentration acid (alkali) resistant, and low-concentration acid (alkali) resistant gloves can not be used to contact high-concentration acids (alkali). Remember not to misuse to avoid accidents.
2. The waterproof, acid and alkali resistant gloves should be checked carefully before use to observe whether the surface is damaged. The simple method is to blow into the glove and pinch the sleeve tightly to observe whether it leaks. It cannot be used if it leaks.
3. Insulating gloves should be regularly inspected for electrical insulation performance, and those that do not meet the requirements cannot be used.
4. Rubber, plastic and other protective gloves should be rinsed and dried after use. Avoid high temperature during storage, and sprinkle talcum powder on the product to prevent adhesion.
5. Contact with strong oxidizing acids such as nitric acid, chromic acid, etc., will cause brittleness, discoloration and early damage to protective gloves due to strong oxidation. High concentration of strong oxidizing acid can even cause burnout, so you should pay attention to it.
6. Latex industrial gloves are only suitable for weak acid, low-concentration sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and various salts. Do not touch strong oxidizing acids (nitric acid, etc.).
Therefore, the choice of protective gloves needs to be cautious, and comprehensive considerations need to be made from the industry, cost and the performance of the gloves themselves.
