Durability assessment of Protective Gloves is a key step to ensure that they can continue to provide effective protection during use. The following are several key aspects of evaluating the durability of Protective Gloves, and are explained in conjunction with relevant figures and information:
1. Material selection
Natural rubber: has excellent tensile strength and elasticity, good wear and cold resistance, and is suitable for wear and cold resistant occasions.
Synthetic rubber: has high chemical stability, can work at different temperatures, and is suitable for high temperature and strong acid and alkali environments.
PVC and TPE: The tensile strength of PVC gloves is usually between 15-20MPa, and the tear strength is around 25-40N/mm; while TPE gloves usually have higher tensile strength, which can reach 15-25MPa, and the tear strength is around 40-60N/mm.
2. Production process
Advanced production equipment: The use of advanced production equipment can ensure the consistency and durability of gloves.
Strict quality control: High-quality glove manufacturers will conduct strict quality control on every link in the production process to ensure that the gloves are free of defects such as bubbles, damage, and uneven thickness.
3. Thickness and Strength
Thickness: The thickness of gloves directly affects their durability. Generally speaking, the thicker the thickness, the better the durability, but it will affect the feel and flexibility.
Strength: Including tensile strength and tear strength. Higher tensile strength and tear strength can effectively prevent the gloves from being scratched and torn during use.
4. Chemical resistance and permeation resistance
Chemical resistance: Gloves need to be able to resist the erosion of common chemicals, such as acids, alkalis, solvents, etc.
Permeation resistance: The permeation resistance of gloves is evaluated by testing whether they can effectively prevent liquid penetration.
5. Comfort and flexibility
Comfort: The inside of the gloves should have a soft lining to provide a comfortable touch and wearing experience.
Flexibility: The design of the gloves should fully consider the flexibility of the hands to ensure that the user can move freely while working.
