What Types of Gloves Are Suitable for Catalysis Work?
The choice of gloves depends on the specific chemicals and conditions involved in the catalytic processes. Some commonly used types include:
- Nitrile Gloves: Resistant to many solvents, oils, and some acids and bases. Suitable for handling organic solvents and non-corrosive catalysts. - Butyl Rubber Gloves: Offer excellent protection against a wide range of chemicals, especially strong acids and bases. - Neoprene Gloves: Provide good chemical resistance and are used for handling corrosive substances. - Latex Gloves: Limited use due to potential allergic reactions and limited chemical resistance. Mostly used for non-hazardous material handling.
