General-Purpose Industrial Gloves
General-purpose industrial gloves (single use) provide protection against harmful environmental influencers such as those found in food service and handling, automotive, non-medical laboratories, and general maintenance. Primarily used in settings where workers are required to change gloves frequently, they may be constructed of latex, nitrile, neoprene, vinyl and/or other polymers. The USFDA requires that the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) for general-purpose industrial gloves be 4.0 or less for defects. General-purpose industrial gloves intended for use in food contact applications must meet specific regulations.
Physically similar to exam gloves, but lacking USFDA certification. Necessary technical tests performed to determine medical/exam glove eligibility include puncture, abrasion, tension, elongation and chemical substance resistance. General-purpose industrial gloves fail to meet the requirements to earn the medical/exam certification and therefore are not used for patient contact.
Fully textured surfaces and textured fingertips are common qualities associated with general-purpose industrial gloves to improve grip in wet and dry conditions. Glove lengths are usually 9.5 inches or 12 inches for extended sleeve varieties. General-purpose industrial glove sizes generally range from small through extra-large, but some product lines may include extra-small or double extra-large options.
General-purpose industrial gloves are available in a wide array of colors. Blue gloves are commonly used in food service and handling applications for identifiable purposes. Black gloves, which mask stains and facilitate viewing of lighter-colored objects, are suitable for inspection, automotive, and maintenance applications.
Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Silver ShieldR gloves size
High-tech Norfoil laminate provides a protective barrier from hazardous chemicals. These gloves provide excellent permeation protection against 280 hazardous chemicals and mixtures including acetone benzene epoxy methanol MEK sodium hydroxide sulfuric acid (93%) toluene and trichloroethylene.Gloves feature a five-layer fabric compacted to a thickness of 2.7 mil. Laminating a high-energy polymer (EVOH) with a low-energy polymer (PE) creates a fabric impervious to at least 90% of all organic chemicals for four hours at 35C. Each layer acts as a barrier against various epoxies and industrial chemicals.Lightweight reduces hand fatigue without sacrificing dexterityEconomical - Can be used as a disposable glove without the need for cleaning and re-cyclingDoes not contain latex or chemical accelerators - Little chance of allergic reactionsAmbidextrous hypoallergenicCan be used as a secondary inner glove - Where the dangers of mechanical damage to gloves are
