Chemwatch:4650.10 Page 8 of 15 Issue Date:11/16/2017 Version No:6.1.1.1 Phosphate Test Solution#1 Print Date:06/21/2019 frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material, glove thickness and dexterity Select gloves tested to a relevant standard(e.g.Europe EN 374,US F739,AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur,a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374,AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent)is recommended. When only brief contact is expected,a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher(breakthrough time greater than 60 minutes according to EN 374,AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent)is recommended. Some glove polymer types are less affected by movement and this should be taken into account when considering gloves for long-term use. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. As defined in ASTM F-739-96 in any application, gloves are rated as: Excellent when breakthrough time>480 min Good when breakthrough time>20 min Fair when breakthrough time<20 min Poor when glove material degrades For general applications,gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm,are recommended. It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical,as the permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore,glove selection should also be based on consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times. Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer,the glove type and the glove model.Therefore,the manufacturers'technical data should always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task. Note:Depending on the activity being conducted,gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks.For example: Thinner gloves(down to 0.1 mm or less)may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed.However,these gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use applications,then disposed of. Thicker gloves(up to 3 mm or more)may be required where there is a mechanical(as well as a chemical) risk i.e.where there is abrasion or puncture potential Gloves must only be worn on clean hands.After using gloves,hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
