    Chemical resistance levels

    SHIELD Scientific has developed one of the most comprehensive chemical resistance guides, to help users in their risk assessments for evaluating personal protection to chemical exposure.

    The testing has been conducted by reputable testing laboratories (Respirex, Proqares & Centexbel), according to EN 16523-1:2015+A1:2018 (Determination of material resistance to permeation by chemicals – Part 1: permeation by liquid chemical under conditions of continuous contact). This standard supersedes EN 374-3:2003. However we would like to stress that all of our gloves are disposable thin gauge gloves designed for light chemical protection.

    WHY A GLOVES CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE?

    An effective risk assessment should allow the user to select the appropriate personal protection against exposure to chemicals. To help users, SHIELD Scientific has developed one of the most comprehensive chemical resistance guides. Permeation and degradation gloves’ data can be selected either by CAS number, chemical name or product type (up to 3 gloves).
