Chemical Gloves

Guidance - From Mapa Professional

Chemical-resistant gloves are essential to personal protective equipment (PPE) in various industries where workers handle potentially hazardous substances. These gloves are a critical barrier between the skin and harmful chemicals, preventing direct contact and minimizing the risk of chemical burns, irritation, and other adverse health effects. Understanding the need for chemical-resistant gloves and choosing the best ones for specific tasks is paramount to ensuring the safety and well-being of workers.

Four Crucial Steps to Choosing Your Ideal Glove

1. Identify the chemical substance. 2. Associate the exposure contact time

3. Think of other hazards you might encounter, such as thermal, mechanical, or critical environment. 4. Consider wear time for more comfort.

Standard EN ISO 374-1: 2016 for Protective gloves against chemicals

It is based on three test methods:

  • Penetration test in accordance with standard EN 374-2: 2014
  • Permeation test in accordance with standard EN 16523-1: 2015, which replaces standard EN 374-3
  • Degradation test in accordance with standard EN 374-4: 2013. 

Perm permeation and degradation tests must be carried out to claim protection against a chemical on the list. The results of the degradation test must appear in the information leaflet.
