SW’s website has created helpful tools to compare and contrast the many specifications our customers may be looking for. Along with our Glove Finder and Safe Hands Guide search engines, we also now offer an additional engine called Chemical Safe Hands Guide. It can be found under the Guide and Tools tab on our website. We recognized customers need an efficient and easy method in searching for the appropriate chemical protection.
The first step is identifying the specific chemical customers need protection against. Next is understanding that performance will be different across different types of gloves. It’s important to distinguish between disposable gloves and chemical protection gloves. They cannot be compared one to one to each other. Our search engine allows for customers to compare across 4 different gloves at the same time. Chemical permeation tables are displayed per each chemical on each glove. The table includes specifications across regional standards. After customers are satisfied with comparing the different gloves, they can download the tables conveniently for their own use.
As a reminder: The information provided by the Chemical Safe Hands Guide is intended to be used solely for user convenience in distinguishing between various options and making informed choices based on their assessment of the context and personal preferences. It is essential to reference safety guidelines and seek professional advice regarding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Declared protection levels and performance data are derived from testing conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, following globally recognized standards and in-house procedures. These results are intended to serve as a general guide. They do not reflect field conditions or real-world application environments. Suitability for specific uses should be confirmed by the purchaser through on-site evaluation and testing providing combined protection level comparisons for SW gloves on most generalized chemical materials.*
If you need further assistance, you can contact our customer care at Chemical Support (https://swssglobal.com/chemical-support/), submit your inquiries, or reach out through our customer support.
*Disclaimer: Chemical permeation tests are conducted in controlled laboratory conditions and not in field conditions. Testing cannot replicate specific wear and tear environments under actual application conditions. The information included is provided as a guide only. Using the correct gloves, for specific applications can only by determined by testing in those applications by the purchaser.
