TEGERAs veiledning for kjemikaliebestandige hansker

Bruk veiledningen for kjemikaliebeskyttende hansker, eller ta kontakt med en av selgerne våre for å få hjelp til å finne en egnet hanske som beskytter mot den aktuelle kjemikaliesammensetningen.

Forhindre kjemisk eksponering: Bruk riktige vernehansker

Hvis du håndterer oljer og kjemikalier uten å beskytte hendene, er det ikke bare hudskader du kan pådra deg, men også skader på nervesystemet og vitale organer. Du risikerer også å utvikle hudirritasjon, overfølsomhet og korrosjonsskader på grunn av kjemikaliene. Bruk alltid veiledningen for kjemikaliebeskyttelse, eller rådfør deg med en av våre selgere når du skal velge hansker.

Alle kjemikaliehanskene til Ejendals er testet og godkjent iht. EN 374, mot farlige kjemikalier og mikroorganismer. Kjemikaliebeskyttende hansker er beregnet for endags bruk, og noen ganger for enda kortere perioder.

Bruk Kjemikaliebeskyttelsesguiden

Hvis kjemikaliene som brukes og arbeidsmiljøet er kjent, kan vår Kjemikaliebeskyttelsesguide hjelpe deg med å finne egnede hansker for vanlige bruksområder.

Dette alternativet passer dersom:

  • Du vet hvilke kjemikalier som håndteres
  • Sikkerhetsdatablader (SDS) er tilgjengelige
  • Arbeidsprosessen og eksponeringsforholdene er godt definert

Få en vurdering av kjemikaliebeskyttelse

Hvis bruksområdet ditt er mer komplekst eller krever en faglig vurdering, kan våre spesialister evaluere de spesifikke forholdene og anbefale egnede hansker.

Dette alternativet anbefales dersom:

  • Flere kjemikalier brukes sammen
  • Eksponeringsforholdene er komplekse eller usikre
  • Du er usikker på hvilken hanskeløsning som er riktig

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.
