What are the effects of waste oils in the metal industry?

Effective protection against oils

In metal manufacturing , oils are used in different processes, such as metal machining. Cutting fluids help to facilitate the operation being performed and are adapted to the type of material being processed. There is a wide variety of formulations and their complexity is varied, including vegetable oils, synthetic oils, mineral oils, aromatic carbons, nitrites...

Without the proper industrial gloves, the operator will be unprotected. Oils can cause irritant contact dermatitis, allergies, chlorinated acne or infections, among others. Therefore, personal protective equipment prepared for chemical risks is required. These interpose an impermeable barrier that protects the hand from the oil being used.

In addition, cut-resistant gloves also prevent this risk, which can occur during metal machining. Carelessness or lack of skill could be the cause of an accident.

At Ansell we offer the right protection for the risks present in the metal industry. To protect against cuts and chemicals, we manufacture equipment with quality materials and advanced technologies that take care of the worker. We build trust!
