Learn the difference between latex and nitrile gloves.
If you or your employees come in contact with chemicals when prepping a substrate, painting or cleaning up at the end of a job, they need to protect their hands by wearing either latex or nitrile gloves. Harmful solvents in oil-based paints not only can irritate you skin but can be absorbed and enter your blood stream.
Safety training sessions should include the importance of wearing disposable rubber gloves
when working with paints, solvents and chemicals as well as your shop’s policy
regarding all personal protection equipment.
Both latex and nitrile gloves provide the wearer the dexterity needed
when painting. Latex gloves are believed
to be slightly more flexible, but frankly there is not much difference. The problem with latex is that some people are
allergic to natural rubber. Nitrile
gloves are also very flexible but are latex-free.
For painting I recommend the Venom Steel Premium Disposable Nitrile
Gloves. I have used these gloves for years. They are a little thicker and much tougher than other brands so they
are less likely to rip. In fact, I usually get several uses from each pair. Compared
to latex gloves, the 6-mil Venom brand better withstands solvents, paints and
cleaning chemicals and is less likely to disintegrate.
The most economical way to buy these gloves is in bulk. A box of 100 costs between $15 and $20.
