AN uncomfortable safety gloves fit increases the likelihood of workers not wearing hand protection when they should, putting them in danger.
SolVex chemical resistance work safety gloves provide the best hand protection against dermatitis and other skin ailments. SolVex chemical resistance work safety gloves provide the best hand protection.
Using the right personal protection equipment (PPE)—and disposing of it properly—is especially important in chemical plants.
Strong acids and bases that are caustic can cause major tissue damage from the briefest exposure. Independently tested and approved safety gloves protect against many of the chemicals in today’s work environment.
Chemical burns are often hard to detect and can result in horrific injures. They are not always obvious and there may be a delayed reaction. Protection by wearing the right safety gloves is vital.

While safety and protection are always paramount when selecting hand protection products, comfort ranks close behind. Studies have shown that comfort influences decision makers selecting hand protection products. This makes sense because no matter how protective the gloves, they are ineffective if workers remove them due to issues with comfort.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could look into the future to see what advancements will have been made in hand protection product manufacturing during the next 5, 10 or 15 years? Since this is not possible, safety gloves manufacturers instead focus on product usage trends and current worker protection needs that are not being met to help guide their research and development efforts. Additionally, they survey related industries and respond with new products and technologies.
"We continually look for improvement with existing tools and PPE, and these include Ansell protective gloves. Thanks to the longer lifecycle of Ansell gloves, we have been able to cut our PPE costs significantly while still maintaining a high degree of protection for our workers."
