Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are nitrile gloves preferred in most laboratories?
Nitrile gloves provide excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals and are more puncture-resistant than latex. They are also an ideal choice for users with latex allergies.
2. What is the benefit of using finger cots?
Finger cots are ideal for applications where only the fingertips need protection, providing a high degree of tactile sensitivity and reducing waste when full hand coverage is not required.
3. Are these gloves suitable for cleanroom environments?
Yes. We offer specialized gloves from brands like Nitritex and AS ONE that are specifically manufactured and packaged to meet various ISO cleanroom standards for low particle shedding.
4. How do I choose between different glove materials?
Selection depends on the chemicals you are handling. While nitrile is versatile, polychloroprene offers enhanced chemical protection, and specialized PE or PVC gloves may be required for specific low-risk or heavy-duty tasks.
5. Why is skin care important when using laboratory gloves?
Frequent glove use and hand washing can lead to skin irritation. Using professional skin protection and care products from brands like Peter Greven helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier and prevents dermatitis.
