JOKASAFE® GLOVES ARE

World´s first bioattributed vinyl gloves

Jokasafe is the first vinyl glove manufacturer to introduce a new collection based on sustainable BIOVYN™ vinyl. As a part of its sustainability strategy, Jokasafe has added to its selection Jokasafe® bio-attributed vinyl gloves with BIOVYN™ vinyl made from 100 % renewable raw material.

BIO-ATTRIBUTED VINYL IS A NEXT GENERATION VINYL

Awareness and concern about the environmental impact of plastics have increased significantly in recent years. The environmental problems associated with plastics should be eliminated and plastics should be completely replaced by alternative materials. But plastics play an important role that we are often not even aware of.

In order to provide safe and reliable safety gloves, plastic or, in this case, vinyl becomes an important material. Vinyl is not absorbed or dissolved in anything. Jokasafe gloves can be safely immersed in chemicals, oils and other mixtures without fear of hazardous substances being absorbed through the glove into the skin.Vinyl is durable and can be reused many times, depending on the application. However, Jokasafe wants to fight against climate change

and as part of its sustainability strategy, it has added to its selection Jokasafe® bio-attributed gloves made from the next generation BIOVYN™ vinyl.

WHAT IS BIO-ATTRIBUTED VINYL?

Bio-attributed vinyl gloves

By this logo you can identify Jokasafe® products made using BIOVYN™ vinyl.

it is a wood-based by-product of the UPM´s forestry industry. This by-product is used to produce bioethylene as a raw material for vinyl. Renewable BIOVYN ™ raw material reduces the carbon footprint by up to 74% compared to regular fossil fuel-based raw materials. Bio-attributed products have the same features as conventional fossil fuel vinyl products, so they are still very durable and offer excellent protection against chemicals and mechanical abrasion, as well as against extreme weather conditions.

Protective Glove Selection Guide

This guide will help you find the right protective work gloves for you, or your workers.

Our guide will help you find the right protective work gloves. If you are still not sure which protective gloves to wear, contact our safety experts and we will help you find the right protection for you. Always follow the instructions given and always wear protective gloves. If necessary, protect your hands also during your leisure time.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TYPE OF PROTECTIVE WORK GLOVES?

When choosing protective work gloves, it is good to check that they are of high quality and durable and therefore make your work smoother. Gloves should protect hands, be the right size and have the right properties and a good grip.

Gloves should be selected according to the task at hand and its risk assessment. Risk assessment must first determine to which factors the workers' hands are exposed to at work and in the working environment, i.e. for mechanical, chemical, thermal (heat, cold) or biological factors. The assessment should also consider work risks and hazards, exposure, incl. the time of exposure, and frequency of risks/hazards at individual workplaces.

WHAT SIZE OF PROTECTIVE GLOVES SHOULD I USE?

Protective gloves should sit snuggly and be comfortable for the wearer, but also durable, strong and easy to put on. When choosing the right size of Jokasafe® protective work gloves, keep in mind that the glove should be smaller than you normally wear, because vinyl gloves have a looser fit. You may also wear either thin cotton or polyester gloves or warm teddy gloves or mittens inside your protective gloves to enhance the properties of protective gloves. You can see which size gloves to wear from the size chart below, see table 1.

WHAT DO THE MARKINGS ON THE PROTECTIVE GLOVES MEAN?

Protective work gloves are awarded the CE marking and the EN standard, if they meet the requirements specified in EU directive and standard. Protective work gloves must have a fixed marking, either on the glove itself, or on the package. Each manufacturer must have a declaration of conformity, which is an official document by which the manufacturer declares the product conforming to official requirements. Suppliers or sellers must produce the declaration of conformity upon request.

The permanent marking must include the CE marking, the name or logo of the manufacturer, the name or product code of the glove, the size, the standard number, the pictograms, the levels or classes of protection, the date of production (type III).

CE-CLASSES

Protective work gloves are divided into three different risk categories based on risk severity.

Class I: gloves protecting against low risks

Class II: gloves protecting against other risks

Class III: gloves protecting against severe or life-threatening riskskäsineet

Protection level markings:

1. abrasion resistance, protection levels 1-4, best 4

2. cut resistance (COUP-test), protection levels 1-5, best 5

3. tear resistance (Newton), protection levels 1-4, best 4

4. puncture resistance (Newton), protection levels 1-4, best 4

5. cut resistance (TDM-test), protection levels A-F, best F

6. impact resistance, fail/pass P (only marked, if passed the test)

X= feature not tested

0= protection level not meeting minimum requirement

The primary test method for cut resistance is the COUP test. The secondary test method is TDM-test, if COUPtest shows dulling of the blade, or manufacture needs to test the feature.

Type A Type B Type C

ABCDEF ABC

Gloves protecting against chemicals fall into three different types:

Type A – protects against six test chemicals for at least 30 min (protection level 2)

Type B – protects against three test chemicals for at least 30 min (protection level 2)

Type C – protects against one test chemical for at least 10 min (protection level 1)

The third line on Type A and Type B pictograms indicates chemicals the glove will protect against (see table 2, p. 17). Type C pictogram does not have a third line.

Chemical gloves are tested for tightness, penetration, permeability, and mechanical resistance. The leak test tests the leakage of chemicals and / or microorganisms through the glove material. The permeability test tests the ability of the test chemical to penetrate through glove material. Based on the breakthrough time, a protection class is assigned to the protective glove (see table 4, p. 17).

Always choose appropriate protective gloves when handling chemicals. The table on page 17 lists chemical groups that the materials used in chemical gloves can resist (see table 3, p. 17).
