FAQs

What material are these gloves made from?

These gloves are made from Polychloroprene (Neoprene).

Are these gloves suitable for food handling?

While made of a safe material, these are industrial-grade gloves. For food handling, it is recommended to use gloves specifically certified for food contact.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point, excluding the thumb. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Shield for Size 9.

Can I reuse these gloves?

Yes, these industrial rubber gloves are designed for multiple uses. Proper cleaning and care are essential to maintain their protective qualities and extend their lifespan.

What does EN374-3 compliance mean?

EN374-3 compliance indicates that the gloves have been tested for resistance to permeation by specific chemicals, ensuring a barrier against hazardous substances.

How thick are the gloves?

The glove thickness is 0.65mm.

What is the benefit of the cotton flock lining?

The soft cotton flock lining absorbs perspiration, helping to keep hands dry and comfortable during extended wear.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Measure your hand circumference and compare it to the manufacturer's sizing chart. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Reduced chemical resistance over time

Inspect gloves for any signs of wear, such as cracks, pinholes, or degradation. Replace gloves immediately if any damage is detected. Proper cleaning and storage also extend lifespan.

Hands feel sweaty or uncomfortable

While the flock lining helps, prolonged use in very warm conditions can still lead to sweating. Ensure the gloves are dry before wearing and consider taking short breaks if possible. Proper sizing also impacts ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to various chemicals and solvents.
  • Comfortable to wear for prolonged periods due to flock lining.
  • Durable and resistant to punctures and tears.
  • Meets rigorous safety standards (EN388, EN374).
  • Good tactile sensitivity for their protective class.

Cons

  • May be less dexterous than thinner disposable gloves.
  • Not suitable for protection against all types of chemicals (refer to specific resistance charts).
  • Size 9 may not fit all users, requiring proper sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for industrial applications and chemical handling. They conform to EN388 (mechanical hazards), EN374-2 (penetration resistance), and EN374-3 (chemical permeation resistance) standards. Always consult specific chemical resistance charts provided by Shield or the chemical manufacturer to ensure suitability for the chemicals you will be handling.

Care: After use, wash the gloves inside and out with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably unrolled or loosely folded, to prevent degradation and maintain flexibility. Avoid prolonged exposure to UV light.
