How to choose labor protection gloves correctly？

In order to protect our hands, we can't live without wearing gloves in our work and life, so how to choose gloves that are suitable for us.

What is hand protection

Gloves with the function of protecting hands and arms for operators to wear during labor are called hand protective articles, which are usually called labor protective gloves.

Labor protection gloves are safety protective articles used to protect human hands from various stimuli and injuries in production and life. Compared with the thermal function of ordinary gloves, labor protection gloves play a more important role in protection, and play a key role in preventing or reducing occupational hazards and preventing industrial safety accidents.

Classification of labor protection gloves

According to the protective function, labor protection gloves are divided into general protective gloves, waterproof gloves, cold proof gloves, anti-virus gloves, anti-static gloves, high temperature gloves, X-ray gloves, acid and alkali gloves, oil gloves, vibration gloves, cutting gloves, insulating gloves, etc.

Each kind of gloves can be divided into many kinds according to the material. According to different production materials, labor protection gloves can be divided into rubber gloves, latex gloves, artificial rubber gloves, artificial leather gloves, special metal gloves, etc.

Let's take a look at some of them:

Insulating gloves

Insulating gloves are mainly used for live line work and must have good electrical insulation characteristics. Their product model, overall dimensions and technical requirements must comply with the provisions of the general technical conditions of insulating gloves for live line work. When carrying out live line work on electrical equipment with AC voltage below 10 kV (or DC electrical equipment with corresponding voltage level), they are worn on hands for electrical insulation. At the same time, they also need good tensile strength Elongation at break, puncture resistance, aging resistance, fire resistance, low temperature resistance and other properties.

Chemical resistant gloves

Acid and alkali resistant gloves, also known as chemical resistant gloves, are labor protection gloves to prevent chemical solvents from damaging hands, and are mainly used for effective hand protection when people are in contact with chemical solvents. Chemical resistant gloves can be made of various materials (such as latex gloves, rubber gloves, PVC gloves, nitrile gloves) according to the composition of chemicals in contact. They are used in the chemical industry, precision installation, printing and other working environments.

heat-resistant gloves

High temperature resistant gloves are used for working in high-temperature environment. Common application scenarios include boiler workers, steam turbine operators, high-temperature pipe repairmen, etc. the temperature resistance of high-temperature resistant gloves ranges from 100 degrees to thousands of degrees, depending on the material and contact time.

Low temperature resistant gloves

Low temperature resistant gloves are mainly used to provide more warmth and comfort to the hands and resist the damage caused by the cold to the human body. Low temperature resistant gloves are suitable for freezing, cold storage, outdoor sports and other cold environments.

Anti cutting gloves

Anti cutting gloves are made of steel wire mixed with nylon woven and other materials, which have Ji strong anti cutting and anti-skid properties. Wearing anti cutting gloves, workers can hold the blade without being cut. Compared with ordinary thread gloves, the service life of a pair of anti cutting gloves is equivalent to 500 pairs of ordinary thread gloves.

Anti cutting gloves are protective articles for employees in clothing processing, meat processing factories, machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, construction, glass, sheet metal processing and other industries.

Radiation proof gloves

The radiation protection gloves are made of high-quality raw materials. The new safety protection lead sheath glue has symmetrical lead distribution, smooth surface, good softness, light weight and thin thickness. The safety protection product series made of it, Gao grade radiation protection lead gloves, are comfortable to wear and have good safety protection performance.

Oil resistant gloves

Oil resistant gloves are mainly used in working environments that need to be exposed to oil or slightly corrosive substances. It is acid resistant, oil resistant and wear-resistant, and the gloves are very soft. The high hand shape design makes it very comfortable to wear. The rough surface at the fingertips improves the mobility, improves the grip performance, and is comfortable and hygienic.

It should be noted that due to the diversity of chemicals encountered, there is no Wanneng gloves. When purchasing, the factory must choose the corresponding oil resistant gloves according to the type of chemicals it contacts.

Shockproof gloves

Shockproof gloves are based on gauze gloves and leather gloves. A certain thickness of plastic foam, natural latex and its gas barrier styrene butadiene rubber or foam plastic rubber sheet are added to the palm of the gloves to digest and absorb vibration.
