A Chemical Glove Program is an important part of managing safety in your operation. Workers face a wide range of risks when they are exposed to chemicals as part of their daily tasks. They need to feel equipped against exposure to harmful chemicals, as well as incidental cuts and abrasions, by using the right hand and body protection equipment. This guide serves as an overview of factors in the selection of the right glove in various chemical environments.

Factors in Chemical Glove Selection

Permeation can be impacted by the working temperature of the surroundings and/or chemical. The higher the working temperature, the lower the breakthrough time and vice-versa. Times noted per the standard are based on working at room temperature.

standard performance testing (including EN374 Chemical
