⚗️ What single-use gloves should you use for handling Ethanol 99.8%? 🚨 Ethanol 99.8% (CAS 64-17-5) is highly concentrated and commonly used in laboratories, manufacturing, and various industrial processes. However, its use does come with certain hazards. Prolonged or repeated skin contact can lead to dryness and irritation, potentially resulting in dermatitis. When selecting single-use gloves for handling Ethanol 99.8%, consider the following: ✅ Material: Nitrile gloves are generally recommended due to their excellent chemical resistance and durability. ✅ Thickness: Thicker gloves offer better protection, but they may reduce dexterity. It’s important to strike a balance between protection and dexterity, especially for precision tasks. ✅ AQL (Acceptable Quality Level): Choose gloves with the lowest AQL (E.g. AQL 0.25) for minimal defects and enhanced overall protection. ✅ Length: For tasks with a risk of splashes, consider longer gloves (such as those with a 300mm cuff) to protect the forearms. By following these guidelines and choosing the appropriate PPE gloves, workers can safely handle Ethanol 99.8% while minimising health and safety risks. ➡️ Consult SHIELD Scientific’s online chemical resistance guide to select gloves that are best suited to your application based on their performance against the chemicals you handle. 👉 https://lnkd.in/exqZYnKB #SafetyatWork #SafetyFirst #HealthandSafety #PPE #Gloves #Chemicals #SHIELDScientific #Chemistry

The gloves are ON!! What bit of work kit that you regularly use do you think deserves to be in every household? 🛠 As the co-founder of Winchester GP, you might expect me to sensibly rattle out some paracetamol and a triangular bandage... but NO! I have something that is far more exciting to me! 😜 What I really want to nominate for anyone who shares my uber glam, Kardashian-esque lifestyle is .... .... a steady supply of single use NITRILE GLOVES. 🧤 #Rant ... standard rubber gloves are rubbish 🚮 😐 They flop around the sink surround looking messy 🤮 developing that weird indelible black mould and generally being damp and smelly 🤢 If you can bear to put them on you literally put clean hands in, get smelly wrinkly hands out.  😭 #Epicfail Contrast this with my trusty box of nitriles, sat in a dry box under the sink - there are very few household chores that I shy away from. 😇 🍛 Washing up and general cleaning obviously 👩🌾 Under gardening gloves - stops the soil which still gets through 🐶 And when Otto finds festering dead things to befriend (a regular and gross occurrence), some firm words, and a pair of nitriles and is dealt with very swiftly! The only downside I see is #environmental 🌏 (single use versus multi-use) but they are so thin (yet strong) I reckon the amount of material in a disposable glove is significantly less than the smelly marigolds. (experts in the field please advise) Plus they are being used in such massive volumes in the medical sector already - I can’t think that my own domestic use moves the dial on that front. (I don't love cleaning that much- just want to make it less painful when I do it!!) So here’s a whoop and some jazz hands 🤭 for Nitrile gloves! Some doctors kit that makes my every day just that little bit better! And my question to you- what do you use in your work on a regular basis that you think every household could benefit from??? (Objects or virtual suggestions all welcome- whatever you consider a top every day life hack!) #lifehack #toptip #justforfun #privategp
