Dynamic duo offer chemical resistance

Published: 17-May-2006


As part of its chemical campaign, hand protection expert Marigold Industrial has undertaken research to identify the most commonly named chemicals against which businesses across Europe are seeking protection.

The results highlight that sulphuric and hydroflouric acid, epoxy resins, solvents such as toluene, and industrial fuels such as diesel, kerosene and petroleum are the chemicals most often cited by businesses looking for hand protection advice.

As a result, Marigold Industrial has highlighted its G25B and G17K gloves as two key products from its extensive chemical resistant range.

The blue nitrile G25B provides excellent protection against substances such as suplhuric and hydroflouric acids, petroleum ether, kerosene, hexane, heptane and diesel. It is therefore suitable for those working in the automotive, manufacturing, assembly and printing industries.

Offering a flock lining for added comfort and raised palm pattern for enhanced grip, the G25B has an open cuff for increased ventilation as well as being highly resistant to abrasion.

Where more heavy-duty protection is required, the black heavyweight G17K is said to be ideal for those working with substances such as chromic acid, hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acid. Manufactured using natural rubber latex, the longer and thicker gauntlet style not only provides excellent chemical resistance but also protection against tears, making it ideal for use in heavy industry, assembly and maintenance areas.

“As each job and the way people work with specific chemicals is different from business to business – some people only likely to be splashed by chemicals others having to immerse their hands in chemicals – it is vital when considering hand protection that advice is sought from manufacturers who have tested their products against a wide range of chemical hazards,” stressed Donald Gillespie of Marigold Industrial.

Marigold Industrial has produced a general guide on hand protection, including a section on chemical resistance, called GRASP.
