Liquid & Contact Protection

To attain the EN 374 pictogram shield gloves must pass at least a Level 2 in three chemicals. The chemicals listed above are the chemicals that passed for this glove.

ESD is an acronym for electrostatic discharge. This discharge is the rapid transfer of static between two different objects. Although ESD doesn’t typically cause harm to the human body - you might only experience it as a small, surprising shock - it can cause extensive damage to electrical equipment and sensitive instruments. This damage may either be permanent, causing the device to malfunction (known as a catastrophic failure), or it may occur on a smaller scale that would be difficult to detect before the device is sent out for service (known as latent defect).

The EN ISO 374-5 VIRUS standard measures the ability of gloves to protect users against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Gloves with this marking must pass EN374-2 for leak testing.

In accordance with ASTM D6978-05, Personal Protective Equipment can be tested to ensure an effective barrier against Fentanyl. The ASTM D6978-05 Standard Practice for Assessment of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drug tests a breakthrough time of typically 240 minutes to determine if the PPE provides an effective barrier.
