Chemicals and abrasive detergents are used in many industries on a daily basis, putting the health
of workers and especially their hands at risk.
Although chemical injuries are common in jobs where chemicals are manufactured, they also
occur in
other sectors such as construction, oil, gas, health care, warehouse management, transportation,
welding and many other industries.
Having the best equipment to protect hand exposure to chemicals is key for workers to feel safe when
performing their jobs and to improve their performance.
Below, we will explain how to know if you are using the right glove and which are the best nitrile gloves for
chemical protection.

How do I know if I am using the perfect glove?
Choosing the right glove to protect against chemical aggressions is a complicated
task for occupational health and safety managers. The choice is based on several criteria such as the specific
chemical, the immersion time, the splash protection or the intensity at which the hands are exposed.
The signs of degradation of a glove are unmistakable, i.e. the glove material attacked by a chemical
shows changes in color, shape and flexibility. Therefore, if we do not choose the right glove before performing the
tasks, burns or lesions will appear in a matter of hours on the skin of our workers.
Therefore, being informed before acquiring chemical protection gloves will allow us to avoid
injuries to our workers. To this end, we are going to talk about one of the best protective gloves
currently available on the market.
