Key Benefits at a Glance
Electrostatically dissipative
Protects against spark discharges thanks to tested dissipative performance according to EN 16350 - ideal for explosive atmospheres.
Excellent tactile sensitivity
Micro-textured fingertips enable precise work with optimal grip.
Chemical resistance
PPE Category III, Type B with protection against 4 defined test chemicals – ideal for paints and solvents.
For maximum safety in EX zones, gloves should always be combined with dissipative clothing and grounded workstations. Antistatic performance is only ensured within a complete discharge system.
Optimal Use in Practice
- Select glove size according to hand circumference and length (check size chart)
- Keep hands dry and clean before putting on gloves
- Put on glove completely; rolled cuff provides additional protection
- Ensure dissipative performance – avoid damage or contamination
- Replace immediately after contact with aggressive chemicals
- Dispose properly after use (single-use product)
- Regularly check puncture resistance under mechanical stress
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No, they protect against 4 defined test chemicals according to PPE Category III, Type B. For other chemicals, appropriate resistance lists must be checked.
They are single-use gloves. If they show contamination, damage, or contact with chemicals, they must be replaced immediately.
The gloves safely discharge electrostatic charges to prevent spark formation, which could be an ignition source in explosive environments.
As a guideline, typical nitrile temperature ranges apply. For exact specifications, manufacturer data should be consulted.
The SAFE-EX CHEMICAL model is available only in black, which offers practical benefits especially in painting environments.
