What type of gloves are to be worn in a laboratory?
Disposable latex gloves are ideal for environments where you will be exposed to biological or water-based hazards. However, those with latex allergies should opt for one of the many latex-free gloves we offer.
Nitrile gloves provide the same protection as latex gloves without the use of latex. They are also more durable and chemical resistant.
Neoprene gloves are ideal for handling hazardous materials like solvents, acids, and bases.
Polyvinyl Chloride gloves are made from PVC and are used as hand protection against acids, bases, peroxides, and other hazardous materials. PVC gloves should NOT be worn when handling organic solvents. These gloves are also more resistant to abrasion than the others.
What are laboratory safety gloves?
Lab safety gloves are PPE designed to protect your hands in research and medical settings where you may be handling hazardous chemicals or sharp objects. There are a number of factors to consider when buying laboratory gloves.
When choosing the right glove for the lab, you need to consider the following:
-
Degradation rating: how well the glove holds up against chemicals
-
Breakthrough time: the time it takes for a chemical to break through the glove material
-
Permeation rate: the rate a chemical passes through the glove after a breakthrough occurs
Glove thickness, weight, and dexterity are important when choosing a glove. You need enough durability and coverage for certain lab environments. In others, you may need ample dexterity to handle certain samples and tools.
