"A REVOLUTION IN GLOVE TECHNOLOGY – FOR HANDS THAT NEED EXTRA PROTECTION


With the arrival of the new range of SHIELDskin CHEM™ safety gloves, SHIELD Scientific offers a level of compliance, comfort and protection that has never before been achieved. SHIELDskin CHEM™ gloves have been specially designed for laboratory use and in order to protect you from chemical hazards.

 

OUR PRODUCTS


SHIELDskin CHEM™ safety gloves are classed as category III according to the PPE Directive (89/686/EEC) and as such are designed for irreversible risk. Only category III gloves are likely to offer laboratory personnel the necessary level of protection. 

 

 APPLICATION OF GLOVE  


The neoprene/nitrile formulation is totally new and is based on a combination of Skin Nitrile™ technology and the double-dipping process known as  twinSHIELD™ technology. SHIELDskin CHEM™ safety gloves have been specially developed to protect users from chemical hazards, without compromising dexterity and comfort.

 

PROTECTION FROM CHEMICAL HAZARDS


With a length of 300mm/12”, SHIELDskin CHEM™ safety gloves meet the minimum liquid proof length requirement needed for a glove offering protection from chemical hazards as specified in EN374-1:2003. They resist permeation for at least 30 minutes, 4 out of 12 of the chemicals listed in EN374-1:200.

 

 PROTECTION FROM MICRO-BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS


SHIELDskin CHEM™ safety gloves have an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) of 0.65 (Level 3) according to EN374-2:2003.  This is the highest level of protection, thereby giving users an increased level of confidence in their biosafety procedures.  

ALLERGY


SHIELD Scientific avoids using a mixture of chemical accelerators in the manufacturing process. By using only one specific chemical accelerator, the risk of allergic contact dermatitis (Type IV) is limited. Furthermore, there are non-detectable levels of chemical allergens using aqueous solution extraction (Phosphate buffered solution) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) assay method for quantitative analysis. SHIELDskin CHEM™ gloves are latex-free and therefore the risk of a Type I allergy to latex protein is completely eliminated.
