**standards** for **protective gloves against chemicals**? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For chemical protection, gloves are certified according to EN 374. This DIN standard describes the protection of gloves against hazardous chemicals and substances. [For more information on the standard and the 2017 change in the standard for chemical gloves, please visit our blog](https://www.uvex-safety.com/blog/de/normaenderung-chemikalienschutzhandschuhe-en-374/). According to DIN EN 374, chemical gloves protect against the following chemicals: | **Identification letter** | **Prüfchemikalie** | **CAS-NR** | **Class** | |---|---|---|---| | A | Methanol | 67-56-1 | primary Alcohol | | B | Aceton | 67-64-1 | Ketone | | C | Acetonitrile | 75-05-8 | Nitrile | | D | Dichlormethan | 75-09-2 | chlorinated hydrocarbon | | E | Kohlenstoffdisulfide | 75-15-0 | sulfur-containing organic compound | | F | Toluene | 108-88-3 | aromatic hydrocarbon | | G | Diethylamine | 109-89-7 | Amin's | | H | Tetrahydrofuran | 109-99-9 | heterocyclic and ehteric compounds | | I | Ethyl Acetate | 141-78-6 | Ester | | J | n-Heptan | 142-82-5 | aliphatic hydrocarbon | | K | Sodium hydroxide 40% | 1310-73-2 | inorganic base | | L | Sulfuric acid 96% | 7664-93-9 | inorganic acid, oxidizing | | M | Salpetersäure 65% | 7697-37-2 | inorganic acid, oxidizing | | N | Essigsäure 99% | 64-19-7 | organic acid | | O | Ammonia water 25% | 1336-21-6 | organic base | | P | Hydrogen peroxide 30% | 772-84-1 | Peroxide | | S | Hydrofluoric acid 40% | 7664-39-3 | inorganic acid | | T | Formaldehyd 37% | 50-00-0 | Aldehyde | **By the way**: When buying gloves, you will also come across EN388 gloves. This standard is not exclusively applicable to chemical gloves, but describes that a glove has undergone protective testing against mechanical risks. They offer protection against mechanical hazards such as abrasion, cuts, punctures or cracks. ![EN388 Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/DcXgpuuzgyqXQwrPoAD94awHW9PbxJb5DSB08ijmefM/w:345/h:345/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtZW4zODgtaGFuZHNjaHVoZV85MzQzNTcyZjg3:t/cb:5c1ebdc921390744dfd0e024ae67381c1132df14/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtZW4zODgtaGFuZHNjaHVoZS5qcGc_MTczODY3MjM0MA "EN388 Gloves") Breakthrough times – Are there **acid-resistant gloves**? --------------------------------------------------------- First of all: There are no completely acid-resistant gloves. Some models, such as nitrile gloves with chemical resistance, can be worn for long periods of time in contact with chemicals, but they do not provide permanent protection against the potentially hazardous substances and therefore need to be replaced regularly. The permissible wearing time of the gloves depends on their material and thickness. ![uvex chemical protection gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/r5MqcTZAtsnRY5bF7QNkx7lgMFIE7K6VLgbEcX1D3ug/w:375/h:125/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtbGFib3JoYW5kc2NodWhfMzE5ZmVmMzdkYw:t/cb:01f0d6de18c8fa802f3bd6da8f38202a034fe18c/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtbGFib3JoYW5kc2NodWguanBnPzE3Mzg2NzI5MTE "chemie handschuhe") ### Classification of chemicals into **protection classes** DIN-EN-374-certified chemical protective gloves are divided into six different protection classes. These classes describe the breakthrough time (permeation time) of the gloves, which is the time it takes for a chemical to penetrate the glove and come into contact with a person's skin. To find the right gloves, chemicals are divided into different classes. Gloves from protection class 3 therefore protect against chemicals from class 3 for up to 60 minutes. | **Class** | **Breakthrough time** | |---|---| | 1 | < 10 minutes | | 2 | < 30 minutes | | 3 | < 60 minutes | | 4 | < 120 minutes | | 5 | < 240 minutes | | 6 | < 480 minutes | ![Laboratory Glove](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/dN3zMh-Yr_rWJ7cUrXAox19ShtmEpO-JHgjmV7rKqIc/w:345/h:233/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtc2NodXR6aGFuZHNjaHVoZS1jaGVtaWthbGllbl82NTU5MDliYzRl:t/cb:43999a4dacef2bc454cd1bde8ebe0ed8dba5b506/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtc2NodXR6aGFuZHNjaHVoZS1jaGVtaWthbGllbi5qcGc_MTczODY3NTcyMg "Laboratory Glove") ### **Permeation resistance** when using various chemicals The permeation resistance (breakthrough time) of gloves when in contact with various chemicals is divided into three categories: Type A, Type B and Type C. - **Type A:** Permeation resistance of at least 30 minutes for at least six test chemicals. - **Type B:** Permeation resistance of at least 30 minutes for at least three test chemicals. - **Type C:** Permeation resistance of at least ten minutes for at least one test chemical. Chemical Resistant Gloves – **Materials** ----------------------------------------- In order to offer you the best possible safety in your everyday work, you will find a selection of chemical protection gloves made of different materials in the uvex range. ![Chemical Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/tC4-y3Q3NT0REBHP0Hu_F1izpsD6zdASJwv8BrO4lnw/w:345/h:233/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5iZXN0YWVuZGlnZS1oYW5kc2NodWhlXzI5NTI3NTIyNDY:t/cb:78c993399c767fe68d934560ac2621295d4f44e1/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5iZXN0YWVuZGlnZS1oYW5kc2NodWhlLmpwZz8xNzM4Njc2NDA4 "Chemical Gloves") ### Chemical protective gloves made of **latex** Latex or natural rubber plays a major role in glove production. Rubber, also known as rubber elasticum or resina elastica, is a rubber-like substance found in the milky sap of rubber plants. This latex is also known as latex. Latex is well suited for the production of chemical gloves due to its **high elasticity**. Gloves can be made entirely of latex, but for use as protective gloves in chemistry, latex **is often combined with other materials such as nitrile** (NBR = nitrile rubber) to increase the durability of the gloves. Alternatively, latex gloves can also be coated with another, more robust material. ![EN 374 Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/8pLZwrFtzRTJeJqIu5s2jKfUJmbbRAA2xdppKRmpUHo/w:345/h:233/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLW5pdHJpbF9kYTgzZTk0ODk1:t/cb:4a68ddd3d321863147d347c0b43973ce15eee6c1/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLW5pdHJpbC5qcGc_MTczODY3NjQzMw "EN 374 Gloves") ### **Nitrile** chemical protection gloves Many of uvex's chemical gloves are made entirely or partly of the synthetic material nitrile. This material is made from petroleum and has rubber-like properties. Unlike latex, nitrile gloves offer **better sensitivity** at work, and they also show **higher abrasion resistance** and **cut resistance** when it comes to mechanical and chemical stresses. Nitrile gloves can also be worn by people with latex allergies. ![Chemical Protective Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/DmbTSV_gguFjBnffWX8DYzsEldoQwByYl7g3-AlbwiY/w:375/h:125/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtaGFuZHNjaHVoZS1lbi0zNzRfY2UzMzczMDIwYQ:t/cb:9732f663760ce5e0038a368843e45d70a4210adc/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtaGFuZHNjaHVoZS1lbi0zNzQuanBnPzE3Mzg2Nzc0ODI "Chemical Protective Gloves") In which **areas** are **chemical gloves** used? ------------------------------------------------ Gloves for chemicals are worn in everyday life in a variety of work areas – wherever risks arise from the use of potentially hazardous chemicals. The gloves protect workers from **dangerous chemical injuries** that can occur due to contact with chemicals such as acids or alkalis. These injuries include chemical burns or chemical burns, in which the tissue is damaged to varying degrees. ![Chemical Resistant Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/G_ARrVmHZJjXaX4qD6Xg_OQRnXY8LINdxqHdwjyn46w/w:345/h:278/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2hlbWllLXNjaHV0emhhbmRzY2h1aGUtZWlud2VnXzgwNmZkNjk5YWI:t/cb:1278cbcb8c62c419e801d6a98250196d6bb6b2e1/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtY2hlbWllLXNjaHV0emhhbmRzY2h1aGUtZWlud2VnLmpwZz8xNzM4Njc4NzE3 "Chemical Resistant Gloves") ### Use as **laboratory gloves** In the laboratory, protective gloves against microorganisms and chemical gloves are an integral part of **daily PPE**. If chemical protective gloves are worn in the laboratory, they are usually a protection against **unexpected chemical splashes**. In this case, the hands are not completely immersed in a chemical – even chemical-resistant gloves do not offer sufficient protection for this, especially over a longer period of time. The manufacturer's information on the wearing time must generally be observed. Damaged gloves must be changed as soon as possible. For some jobs, it makes sense to wear chemical protection gloves in long or extra long so that not only the hands, but also the **forearms** or even the **upper arms** are protected. When buying lab gloves, be sure to choose the right size – this way you can make sure that the **gloves fit properly**, i.e. are neither too tight nor too loose. This gives them the **best possible sensitivity** at work as well as the greatest chemical protection. ![Nitrile Gloves Chemical Resistance](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/dnuIe4mOILofzrIGDY3Cjjq-1znMW8OAvAndCpZGg8k/w:345/h:185/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLWxhbmdfZDljZTIzZTk1Yg:t/cb:34f5a56d476d9a69e645197ec19561ecb0279ac9/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLWxhbmcuanBnPzE3Mzg2NzkwMDY "Nitrile Gloves Chemical Resistance") ### Chemical protection gloves for **firefighters** In the event of a hazardous materials operation, chemical protective gloves are part of the **personal protective equipment** of firefighters in addition to a chemical protective suit (CSA). Suits and chemical gloves have the task of minimizing **contact with the hazardous substances** at the scene of the incident as much as possible. Examples of such operations with hazardous substances are, for example, **chemical accidents in companies** or the **disposal of chemicals after transport accidents**. Chemical Protective Gloves – **Disposable vs. Reusable** -------------------------------------------------------- When buying chemical protective gloves, a distinction is made between disposable and reusable gloves. [**Disposable gloves**](https://www.uvex-safety.com/en/disposable-gloves/) for chemistry are marked with the **abbreviation NR**. They are intended for **single use only** and must be disposed of afterwards. Unauthorized reuse of disposable gloves exposes you to unnecessary risks of injury. In contrast, reusable gloves such as the [uvex rubiflex](https://www.uvex-safety.com/en/products/safety-gloves/uvex-rubiflex-nb27-safety-glove-9893263/) model are equipped with the **R marking**. These gloves are usually thicker than disposable gloves and therefore **more robust**. Even though these gloves do not have to be disposed of immediately after the first wear, it is necessary that you still adhere to the **total wearing time** prescribed by the manufacturer in order to provide the best possible protection against chemical injuries at all times. ![Laboratory Gloves](https://d3rbxgeqn1ye9j.cloudfront.net/images/wekvZePN8WFod2tTjKmH4ANhlKN_6vus2QnWCkwg0HE/w:345/h:304/fn:Y3NtX3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLWZldWVyd2Vocl8xOWVjNmMxMjE2:t/cb:6d9a79d20df5ecae842a4161588140fc54a00e92/el:1/fq:jpeg:85:avif:70:webp:80/aHR0cHM6Ly9kM3JieGdlcW4xeWU5ai5jbG91ZGZyb250Lm5ldC9maWxlYWRtaW4vd3d3LnV2ZXgtc2FmZXR5LmNvbS9GaWx0ZXJzZWl0ZW4vQ2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlL3V2ZXgtY2hlbWlrYWxpZW5zY2h1dHpoYW5kc2NodWhlLWZldWVyd2Voci5qcGc_MTczODY4MDQzNg "Laboratory Gloves") **Buy chemical protective gloves – at uvex** -------------------------------------------- With **chemical protection gloves** in **different protection classes** from uvex, you can **protect yourself and your employees** from serious injuries in the workplace when handling chemical substances.
