Labor protection gloves are used to protect the hands of users. They are one of personal protective equipment.

For different application environments, it is necessary to select according to the corresponding functions when using labor protection gloves. However, there are so many labor protection gloves on the market, how should we divide them?

I. insulating gloves for live working

It is made of rubber, which not only has good electrical insulation characteristics, but also has good light tensile strength and elongation, puncture resistance, aging resistance, fire resistance and low temperature resistance. The model, overall dimension and technical requirements of this type of labor protection gloves shall comply with the provisions of the general technical conditions for insulating gloves for live working. It is mainly used in the working environment with AC voltage of 10kV and below.

II. Acid and alkali resistant gloves

It can be made of rubber, latex, plastic and plastic impregnated materials respectively, which has a certain protective effect on acid and alkali, but it needs to comply with the provisions of acid (alkali) resistant gloves.

When using this kind of labor protection gloves, it is necessary to check whether the gloves have defects such as frost spray, brittleness, stickiness and damage. It is necessary to ensure the air tightness of gloves and that there is no air leakage under certain pressure.

III. oil resistant gloves

It is made of nitrile rubber, chloroprene or polyurethane. It is used to protect the hand skin from the stimulation of greasy substances and avoid acute dermatitis, dry skin, chapped skin, pigmentation, nail changes and other skin diseases.

IV. welder gloves

It is made of cow, pig leather or two-layer leather, which can be divided into two finger type, three finger type and five finger type according to finger type. It can protect hands against high temperature, molten metal and spark burning.

This kind of labor protection gloves have strict requirements for appearance. For example, for first-class products, the leather body is required to be uniform, plump, soft and elastic. The plush on the leather surface needs to be fine, uniform, firm and consistent in color. If the leather body lacks fullness and elasticity, the fur on the leather surface is thick, and the color is slightly dark, it is a second-class product.

V. anti vibration gloves

Based on gauze gloves and leather gloves, add a certain thickness of foam plastic, latex and air sandwich synthetic rubber or foam rubber sheet on the palm of the gloves to absorb vibration. It is mainly used in industries exposed to vibration, such as forestry, mining, construction, transportation and other industries, to prevent vibration occupational diseases caused by vibration.

For this kind of labor protection gloves, the anti vibration effect is inversely proportional to the flexibility. Because the thicker the pad, the greater the amount of air it contacts, and the better the anti vibration effect. However, the greater the thickness of palm and finger, the greater the impact on the operation.

VI. fire resistant and flame retardant gloves

The traditional fire-resistant and flame-retardant gloves are made of asbestos materials, which are divided into two finger type and five finger type, and have three specifications: large, medium and small. However, asbestos fiber is rarely used now because it is irritating to human skin. At present, the fire-resistant and flame-retardant gloves are generally made of fire-retardant canvas or other fire-resistant and flame-retardant fabrics, which are generally used for smelting furnace foremen or other furnace types of work.

VII. Anti static gloves

It is made of special anti-static tapering fiber cloth. The base material is composed of tapering fiber and conductive fiber. It has good elasticity and anti-static performance, and can avoid the damage of products caused by static electricity generated by human body. It is suitable for wide use in the electronics industry, semiconductors, dust-free workshops and daily life.

During operation, people need to make good use of various personal protective equipment to better protect themselves. Therefore, I hope the above sharing about labor protection gloves will be helpful to you.
