A: Methanol
B: Acetone
C: Acetonitrile
D: Dichloromethane
E: Carbon disulphide
F: Toluene
G: Diethylamine
H: Tetrahydrofurane

Gloves design and construction
Resistance of gloves materials to water penetration
Innocuousness
Confort and efficiency
Marking and information supplied by the manufacturer
This diagram details the testing categories for BS EN511:1994 . A tested item is given a performance rating of 1 to 4 ( lowest to highest) some or all of the listed categories.

The frozen season has passed, and now a lot of construction projects have begun to formally enter the construction phase, during the busy period, workers need to pay attention to protect theirs hands.
The importance is that normal winter gloves is too thick , neither comfortable, nor flexible. Lots of workers want a soft winter work glove, which keeps hands be warm in low temperature, and be flexible and soft. HEMAI Glove already solved the problem. A soft and warm glove for winter already come out.
