Guía de guantes de protección química TEGERA

Utilice nuestra guía de protección química o póngase en contacto con nuestros técnicos comerciales y solicite ayuda para encontrar un guante adecuado para la protección frente a la mezcla química pertinente.

Prevenga la exposición química: utilice los guantes protectores adecuados

Si manipula aceites y productos químicos sin proteger sus manos, se expone a riesgos no solo de daños cutáneos, sino también de daños en su sistema nervioso y órganos vitales. También se arriesga a desarrollar irritación cutánea, hipersensibilidad y daños por corrosión debido a los productos químicos. Utilice siempre nuestra guía de protección química o consulte a nuestros técnicos comerciales antes de elegir los guantes.

Todos los guantes químicos de Ejendals han sido probados y homologados de conformidad con la norma EN 374 relativa a guantes de protección contra riesgos químicos y de microorganismos. Los guantes de protección química están pensados para el uso durante un solo día y, en ocasiones, incluso períodos más cortos.

Utilice la Guía de Protección Química

Si se conocen los productos químicos utilizados y el entorno de trabajo, nuestra Guía de Protección Química puede ayudarle a identificar los guantes adecuados para las aplicaciones más habituales.

Esta opción es adecuada si:

  • Sabe qué productos químicos se están manipulando
  • Dispone de las Fichas de Datos de Seguridad (FDS)
  • El proceso de trabajo y las condiciones de exposición están claramente definidos

Solicite una Evaluación de Protección Química

Si su aplicación es más compleja o requiere una evaluación especializada, nuestros expertos pueden analizar sus condiciones específicas y recomendar los guantes más adecuados.

Esta opción se recomienda si:

  • Se utilizan varios productos químicos de forma simultánea
  • Las condiciones de exposición son complejas o inciertas
  • No está seguro de cuál es la solución de guantes más adecuada

BREAK-THROUGH-TIMES (BTT) FOR A SELECTION OF COMMON CHEMICALS

Break-through-time (BTT) is the time when a chemical is considered to have permeated (passed through) a material. It depends primarily on the material and secondarily on the thickness (and other factors). All data refer to full contact with the chemicals at room temperature, and need to be adjusted for actual conditions and additional risks.

The BTT data in this chemical protection guide originate from combined data from laboratory tests and our internal database. The BTT values are calculated from best-fit to experimental points and rounded downwards to closest EN374 Class (and two additional lower levels (0 – 5 min) that might be useful when selecting gloves for work operations of very short duration).

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING CHEMICAL PROTECTION GLOVES

  • A glove that gives good protection against a certain individual chemical may give very poor protection against others or a mixture of chemicals.
  • As a rule, chemical protection gloves are intended for single-day use. They must not be re-used.
  • A used glove is chemically contaminated and there is a risk that the skin will be exposed to harmful substances when it is handled.
  • Higher temperatures shorten the time it takes for the chemical to break through.
  • Thicker materials generally mean longer breakthrough times (BTT).
  • At Ejendals, for gloves consisting of multiple layers (liner etc), we denote the effective thickness of the chemical protection layer with an asterisk (*). It is this thickness we use in our estimations of BTT for a certain combination of glove model and chemical.
  • Once a chemical has been absorbed, it continues to break through (permeate) the protective glove.
  • Permeation through a protective glove takes place at the molecular level and is therefore not visible to the naked eye.
  • Even the best gloves lose their protective properties if they are mechanically damaged or if the chemical has broken through the material.
  • Strongly corrosive chemicals can destroy the glove material by breaking it down before the specified breakthrough time.

WHAT IS WHAT?

  • PERMEATION is a process whereby the chemical is absorbed into and passes through the glove material at a molecular level.
  • PENETRATION involves the chemical moving through pinholes and other imperfections in the glove material.
  • DEGRADATION is when the glove material’s physical resistance deteriorates under the influence of a chemical.

MIXING CHEMICALS CAN HAVE UNEXPECTED RESULTS

Two chemicals with known characteristics can produce unexpected effects when mixed. Since the number of chemicals marketed is huge, it is virtually impossible to test all conceivable combinations of them. Models do exist for estimating combined effects on the basis of what is known about the component chemicals. However, they presuppose that data is available and that the various chemicals involved have the same mechanisms of action. This means that the models can only be used for groups of chemicals that act in a similar way – not for the complex mix of chemicals that we are exposed to in reality.

BARRIER PROTECTION GLOVES

TEGERA Barrier Protection Gloves meet the needs for performance, comfort, and hand protection for work involving food, oils, and liquids — including chemicals that range from low to highly aggressive. To avoid skin irritation, oversensitivity, and corrosion damage — as well as cross-contamination — choose the right protection for your hands. It is one of the most important decisions for your safety.
