The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation · Material of gloves Nitrile-soaked cotton gloves (layer thickness approx. 0.15 mm) For activities using products containing cement, suitable protective gloves have been identified (GISCODES ZP1). Suitable are, for example Ampri: SolidSafety Cut 081101 / SolidSafety Tough 081201 / SolidSafetyTough Dots 081202 Ansell: Flexitril L27 / Fleximax 27 or 35 / Hylite / Nitrotough N210 / Sol-Knit KCL: Sahara / Gobi / Nitex MAPA: Duo-Mix 405 / Enduro 328 / Stansolv AK 22 / Titanlite 397 / Titansuperlite UVEX: uvex Profi Ergo XG 20 / uvex phynomic pro The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. · Penetration time of glove material The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. · For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable: Nitrile rubber, NBR · Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials: Leather gloves.
