Hand protection of Genapol T 150:
For long-term exposure:
Butyl rubber gloves.
Minimum thickness (glove): not determined
With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.
For short-term exposure (splash protection):
Nitrile rubber gloves.
Minimum thickness (glove): not determined
With solid dry substances permeation is not to be expected, therefore the breakthrough-time for this protective glove has not been measured.
These types of protective gloves are offered by various manufacturers.
Please note the manufacturers´ detailed statements, especially about the minimum thickness and the minimum breakthrough time.
Consider also the particular working conditions under which the gloves are being used.
