Gloves are the most used protective tool in the laboratory after goggles. Different from goggles, there are many types of gloves, and different gloves have different uses. Today, I will tell you about the materials and uses of gloves commonly used in laboratories. I hope it can be helpful to you.

1. Natural rubber gloves

Natural rubber latex gloves are usually unlined and come in a variety of styles, including clean and sterile. These gloves can provide effective protection against alkalis, alcohols, and various chemical dilute aqueous solutions, and can better prevent the corrosion of aldehydes and ketones.

2. PVC

Gloves do not contain allergens, powder-free, low dust generation, low ion content, strong chemical corrosion resistance, can protect almost all chemical hazards, and also have anti-static properties. The thickened and treated surface (such as the rough surface) can also prevent general mechanical wear, and the thickened type can also prevent cold, and the operating temperature is -4°C to 66°C. Can be used in a dust-free environment.

3. PE gloves

PE gloves are disposable gloves made of polyethylene. It has the functions of waterproof, anti-oil, anti-bacteria, acid and alkali resistance. Tips: Generally speaking, PE gloves can touch food and are non-toxic; PVC gloves are best not to touch food, especially hot food.

4. Nitrile rubber gloves

Nitrile rubber gloves are usually divided into disposable gloves, medium unlined gloves and light lined gloves, which can prevent the erosion of oils (including animal fat), xylene, polyethylene and aliphatic solvents; they can also prevent most Pesticide formulations, often used in the application process of biological ingredients and other chemicals. Nitrile rubber gloves do not contain protein, amino compounds and other harmful substances, and rarely cause allergies. Silicon-free, with certain antistatic properties, suitable for the production needs of the electronics industry. The surface has low chemical residue, low ion content, and small particle content, suitable for strict clean room environments.

5. Neoprene gloves

Similar in comfort to natural rubber, neoprene gloves are resistant to light, aging, flex, acid and alkali, ozone, burn, heat and oil.

6. Butyl rubber gloves

Butyl rubber is only used as a material for medium-sized unlined gloves, and can be used in glove boxes, anaerobic boxes, incubators, and operation boxes; Strong durability, special rubber synthetic drug resistant gloves.

7.PVA

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can be used as a material for medium-sized lined gloves, so this glove is resistant to a variety of organic chemicals, such as aliphatics, aromatics, chlorinated solvents, fluorocarbons and most ketones (except acetone), Esters as well as ethers provide a high level of protection and corrosion resistance.
