Protective gloves are an essential part of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in many industries to protect workers from injuries or exposure to hazardous substances. Here are the different types of protective gloves and their uses:
1. Chemical-resistant gloves: These gloves are made of materials that can prevent chemical and water penetration and are used in industries where workers handle hazardous liquids. The gloves are tested by EN 374 for chemical resistance and ANSI/ISEA 105 for cut resistance.
2. Cut-resistant gloves: These gloves are designed to protect workers from cuts, abrasions, and punctures from sharp objects and tools. The gloves are tested by ANSI/ISEA 105 for cut resistance.
3. Heat-resistant gloves: These gloves protect workers from high temperatures and are used in industries where workers handle hot materials or machinery. The gloves are tested by EN 407 for heat resistance.
4. Electrical gloves: These gloves are used by electricians to prevent electrical shocks while working with live wires and electrical equipment. The gloves are tested by EN 60903 for electrical resistance.
5. Disposable gloves: These gloves are made of thin materials like latex, vinyl, or nitrile and are commonly used in medical settings to prevent the spread of infectious diseases or in food handling industries to maintain hygiene standards.
6. For different mateiral, PVC coated, nitrile, latex and PU gloves are for your option.
The most common packaging for protective gloves is in boxes of 100 or in pairs for the gloves designed specifically for electrical use. Gloves may also come in zip-lock bags or other types of easy-to-carry packaging.
In summary, choosing the right gloves for different work environments and hazards is crucial for ensuring worker safety. Compliance with EN or ANSI standards for specific types of protective gloves can provide assurance that the product will provide adequate protection.
