Description
The chemical-resistant glove from Portwest, model A882, is specifically designed for professionals working in high-risk environments where both chemicals and static electricity pose hazards. This double-dipped PVC glove offers reliable hand protection during industrial cleaning, laboratory work, and chemical processes. Thanks to its ESD-safe properties, this model is ideally suited for the electronics industry, where sensitive components must be protected against electrostatic discharges.
For which specific work environments is this chemical-resistant glove from Portwest suitable?
This work glove is optimal for sectors where exposure to chemicals and electrostatic discharges occur simultaneously.
You can use this model in laboratories, the chemical industry, and electronics assembly. The glove meets the EN 16350:2014 standard for electrostatic properties, meaning the wearer can work in explosive atmospheres or near sensitive electronic equipment without building up a static charge. The liquid-tight PVC coating protects the skin against hazardous liquids and acids.
What does the EN ISO 374-1 Type B rating mean for this chemical-resistant glove?
The EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type B rating indicates that this glove provides protection against chemical liquids.
Type B means that the glove has achieved a minimum breakthrough time of thirty minutes for at least three tested chemicals from the standard list, in this case indicated by the letters A, K, and L. This ensures that you can safely work with specific acids and bases without the liquid penetrating the material immediately.
The interior features a comfortable flock lining that absorbs perspiration. A sandy finish on the palm ensures a firm grip on wet and greasy objects.
