How to protect your hands during screen printing?

Nitrile gloves are some of the more useful accessories for screen printing. Disposable rubber gloves effectively protect the hands from contact with the chemicals, i.e. inks and solvents, used during printing. The rubber gloves fit snugly on the hand, do not restrict movement and provide good grip.

Why nitrile gloves?

Gloves made of synthetic nitrile rubber are durable and resistant to mechanical damage and are not affected by various chemicals. The advantage of nitrile is that it does not have the odour characteristic of latex gloves, which has a beneficial effect on the comfort of use. The inside of the screen-printing gloves is textured, which means that using the gloves does not affect grip. The gloves contain no silicones or waxes and are completely safe for allergy sufferers. Without a doubt, they are one of the more useful accessories for screen printing - effectively protecting your hands from irritation that can arise from contact with chemicals.

Why use screen printing gloves?

When operating a screen printing machine, there is a risk of contact with alkaline substances used to degrease the screen, inks and solvents. It is therefore crucial to use chemical-resistant gloves to prevent skin irritation from contact with strong chemicals. Chemical-resistant gloves are designed to insulate a worker's hands from direct contact with various substances. Different gloves are used for temporary contact with chemicals, and others for continuous immersion - the protection time for such gloves must then be correspondingly longer. Nitrile gloves provide 100% protection during screen printing.
