Affordable Chemical Protection with CG100 Gloves
Azeas Co., Ltd., a specialists in protective clothing based in Taito, Tokyo, is set to launch the CG100 chemical protection gloves on December 10, 2023. These gloves meet the requirements of the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS T 8116, ensuring quality and reliability for users.
In light of the new mandatory regulations starting April 2024, which require autonomous management of chemical substances at workplaces, the introduction of these gloves comes as a timely response. According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, protective gear must now include impermeable materials for chemical substances classified as skin-hazardous. However, there are concerns about the increased costs associated with single-use protection equipment, making it challenging for users to select suitable protective gear. The CG100 gloves aim to solve this issue by offering an affordable alternative while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
Key Features of CG100 Gloves
The CG100 gloves are designed for use as inner gloves, intended to be paired with an outer glove for added protection. With a focus on minimizing degradation when handling various chemicals, they are suitable for several critical applications:
- - Handling of Chemicals in Laboratories: Ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, and laboratory settings where routine handling and testing of chemicals occur.
- - Cleaning and Maintenance: Essential in cleaning tasks that involve hazardous substances, protecting workers from skin damage and absorption through the skin.
Usage Guidelines
To effectively use the CG100 gloves, wear them as an inner glove. Then, choose an appropriate outer glove for the specific tasks at hand. This dual-layer approach not only enhances protection but also ensures compliance with safety standards.
Performance Data
The CG100 gloves have undergone testing for permeability against twelve different chemical substances, showing promising results as follows:
| Chemical Name | Concentration (%) | Breakthrough Time (min) | Class |
|---|
| ----- | ----- | ---- | - |
| Acetone | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Acetonitrile | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Dichloromethane | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Ethyl Acetate | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Normal Hexane | 96.0 | >480 | 6 |
| Tetrahydrofuran | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Toluene | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Methanol | 99.8 | <1 | N/A |
| 1,4-Dioxane | 99.5 | >480 | 6 |
| Ethanol | 99.5 | <30 | 1 |
| Isopropyl Alcohol | 98.0 | >480 | 6 |
| 1-Butanol | 99.0 | >480 | 6 |
*Note: Breakthrough time is defined as the time taken to reach the standard permeation rate set by JIS T 8116 (0.1μg/cm²/min). Testing values reflect the materials used in the CG100 gloves and do not constitute a guarantee of performance.
