Back in old days, industrial workers were less likely to wear quality chemical protection gloves when they were conducting chemical handling in the industry.
Workers who have low safety awareness has caused an increase in the chemical incident to happen.
The Importance of Wearing Quality Chemical Protection Gloves in Industrial and Household Settings:
Based on some study scenarios, there are about 15,700 workers suffer from chemical burns in the workplace annually. In retail industries, about 2,600 workers suffer from chemical burns.
In the household, human tends to expose to corrosive chemicals as well when doing household work.
This has created a huge alert that wearing safety protective gear is a must to protect them from hazardous environments.
Below are some of the categories of acids and bases that are commonly handled in industries and households.
Understanding Common Acids and Their Handling in Industries and Households
Common Acids
- Sulfuric acid: A type of common acid to use in car batteries. It is also used as a tile cleaner.
• Nitric acid: Acid that use to produce fertilizers, adhesives, dye, and many more. It is also used as a cleaning agent in industries.
• Hydrochloric acid: Acid that is used for pool cleaning, electroplating, textile, etc. It is a type of strong acid.
Common Alkaline or Bases
- Sodium Hydroxide: Also known as caustic soda. Using it for soap production, drain cleaner etc. It is a type of strong base chemical.
• Ammonia: A strong alkaline that is used for preservation.
• Sodium Hypochlorite: Known as liquid bleach. Mainly used for household cleaning.
