Polythene Hygienic May be disposable Impervious Low abrasion resistance Not resistant to hot splashes Low melting point could cause adhesion to skin Suitable for disposable gloves or headgear... 

This substance has extensive lipid solubility and is absorbed immediately by the skin. Additionally, DMM is able to penetrate many materials including plastic and rubber compounds such as latex, polyvinyl chloride, and neoprene in a matter of seconds. In permeability tests, a Silver Shield glove of a flexible, plastic-laminate, offered skin protection from DMM for 4h. This chemically resistant glove, when worn under an outer glove that is resistant to abrasion and tears, may provide limited protection for direct handling of DMM. 

The best results are achieved when the skin has been prepared for 15 days beforehand see Chapter 2. If the skin has been prepared with tretinoin or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), if the patient has used products (benzoyl peroxide) or techniques (scrub, or abrasion with a massage glove) that increase the permeability of the stratum corneum, the resorcinol paste should not be left on too long.

Gloves of various design provide protection against a range of hazards including cuts and abrasions extremes of temperature (hot and cold) skin irritation and dermatitis and contact with toxic or corrosive liquids. Barrier creams may sometimes be used as an aid to skin hygiene in situations where gloves cannot be used. 

Hands and feet may need protection from abrasion, temperature extremes, cuts and punctures, impact or skin infection. Gloves or gauntlets provide protection from most industrial processes, but should not be worn when operating machinery because they may become entangled in it. Care in selecting the appropriate protective device is required for example, barrier creams provide only a limited protection against infection. 

Leather was, for many years, considered to be the standard form of hand protection used for medium to heavy-duty jobs. Leather gloves afford good mechanical properties for abrasion and puncture resistance. But as the years have passed, we have been taught that leather possesses qualities similar to human skin — meaning that leather gloves do not provide wearers with the best form of cut protection. 

Based on recent requests and the changing industrial environment, customers will likely require smart gloves for a range of tasks performed in the future. Smart gloves provide a benefit to the user beyond basic protection from cuts or abrasions, such as skin treatment or antimicrobial properties. 

Are appropriate protective gloves used wherever there is the danger to hands of exposure to hazards such as those from skin absorption of harmful substances, severe cuts or lacerations, severe abrasions,pmictiues, chemical bums, thermal bums, and harmful temperatiue extremes ...
