I heard that the skin sensitizer in LS Bell Hammer Cartridge Grease No.2 comes from zinc dialkyldithiophosphate. I use 0.2mm nitrile gloves—are they sufficient in terms of resistance and permeability? Are there any better glove options?

【Response to Your Inquiry】

■ Regarding the nitrile gloves currently in use (0.2mm thickness)

In general, nitrile gloves with a thickness of around 0.2mm provide a certain level of barrier protection against zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), which is commonly included in greases. For short-term handling or light-duty tasks, they are generally considered suitable.

However, for prolonged use or tasks involving heavy grease exposure, there is a possibility of material degradation or chemical permeation.

We therefore recommend replacing gloves as needed based on the work environment to ensure continued protection.
