Free guide: hand protection for common workplace chemicals
April 10th 2006 Recent research by Marigold Industrial has highlighted that substances such as sulphuric and hydrofluoric acid, epoxy resins, solvents such as Toluene and industrial fuels such as diesel, kerosene and petroleum are the most commonly named chemicals businesses are looking for hand protection advice on.
As a result, the company says its G25B and G17K are two key products in its chemical resistant range.
The blue nitrile G25B provides high protection against substances such as sulphuric and hydrofluoric acids, petroleum ether, kerosene, hexane, heptane and diesel. With a flock lining for added comfort and raised palm pattern for enhanced grip, the G25B is designed with an open cuff for increased ventilation as well as being highly resistant to abrasion. The company says it is therefore highly suitable for those working in automotive, manufacturing, assembly and printing industries.
For more heavy duty protection, the black heavyweight G17K is for those working with substances such as chromic acid, hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acid. Manufactured using natural rubber latex, the longer and thicker gauntlet style provides high chemical resistance and is resistant against tears, making it well suited for use in heavy industry, assembly and maintenance areas.
The company has produced a free guide to hand protection, which includes a section on chemical resistance. To receive it, use the enquiry system below – and don’t forget to leave a postal address! More articles from Marigold Industrial Ltd: |
