Gloves Flashcards
What is BUTYL made of?
Synthetic rubber
BUTYL is a type of synthetic rubber known for its chemical resistance.
What types of chemicals does BUTYL protect against?
Wide variety including:
* Peroxides
* Rocket fuels
* Highly corrosive acids
* Strong bases
* Alcohols
* Aldehydes
* Ketones
* Esters
* Nitro compounds
BUTYL is effective against many harsh chemicals.
What properties does BUTYL have?
Resists:
* Oxidation
* Ozone corrosion
* Abrasion
Remains flexible at low temperatures
These properties make BUTYL suitable for various applications.
What is NOT recommended for BUTYL?
Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated solvents
These substances can degrade BUTYL’s performance.
What is VITON also known as?
FKM rubber
VITON is a type of synthetic rubber noted for its chemical resistance.
What types of chemicals does VITON protect against?
Toxic and highly corrosive chemicals, good for chlorinated and aromatic solvents
VITON is considered the most chemical resistant rubber.
What properties does VITON have?
Cut and abrasion resistant
These features enhance VITON’s durability in challenging environments.
What is NOT recommended for VITON?
Ketones
Ketones can compromise the integrity of VITON.
What is CYRO made from?
Acrylic
CYRO is designed for specific applications involving extreme cold.
What temperature range is CYRO designed for?
-130° to -460°
This makes CYRO suitable for handling extremely cold materials.
What does CYRO protect against?
Frostbite
CYRO materials are crucial for safety in extremely cold environments.
What should never be done with CYRO?
Never dip into product
This practice can lead to contamination or damage.
