Lengthy protection
October 1st 2008 Ansell has broadened its
portfolio of industrial gloves
with the introduction of
Newcomer, a long cuff
version of the single-use
Touch N Tuff nitrile glove.
Chemical tests by an
independent agency have
demonstrated that the glove
offers a high level of
protection against chemical
substances and, with its
longer cuffs, the new 92-
605 version will further
increase levels of
protection.
Trials by Centexbel, a
Belgian notified body,
measured the resistance of
the Touch N Tuff glove and
11 of its competitors to
chemical permeation from
10 key chemicals in the
principal chemical families.
According to Ansell, the
findings showed that no
other single-use nitrile glove
tested resists a greater
variety of industrial
chemicals for a longer
period than the Touch N Tuff.
The gloves have a high
level of puncture resistance
and, made from 100%
nitrile, they help to eliminate
the risk of latex allergies.
The company says they
show no evidence of risk
from irritation or type IV
allergies. More articles from British Safety Council: |
