This ensures that the gloves provide protection against electrostatic discharge. If you carry out work or repairs near electrical systems, it is recommended to use gloves with electrical insulation. Depending on the maximum operating (user) voltage, these are classified into protection classes 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>CHEMICAL INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For work in the chemical industry, the use of PVC or rubber, neoprene and nitrile gloves is recommended.

When trying on gloves, make sure they fit well but don&#8217;t restrict movement. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To choose the ideal size, measure the circumference of the palm around the knuckles and refer to<\/span> <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/vp.lacuna.hr\/wand\/Content\/Dokumenti\/Tehni%C4%8Dki%20list%2042-848_BP-60126863-0001_hr.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the size chart<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provided by the manufacturer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>3.

You need to make sure that the gloves you choose will withstand the demanding work and will last a reasonable amount of time. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Gloves with reinforced seams and extra layers in high-traffic areas have a longer service life. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Some gloves require special care to extend their life. For example, leather gloves need to be oiled from time to time.
