Protection of hands:
Chemical resistant protectiv gloves (EN 374).
Chemical protection gloves from butyl rubber or nitrile rubber of the category III in accordance with EN 347.
Consider the data of the manufacturers at the permeability and break-through times as well as the special
conditions on the job (mechanical load, contact duration).
Material of gloves
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality
and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Butyl rubber, BR
Penetration time of glove material
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed.
Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials: Nitrile rubber, NBR
Eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses.
Body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing.
