Oil & Chemical

Oil resistance is one of key features required in this field.
SHOWA is challenging to develop better hand solutions with reliable oil resistance.

01

Ignition accident hazard due to static electricity.

The combustible vapor has very small energy required to ignite in the air, and it easily ignites with a weak electric spark.
It is necessary to control static electricity in order to reduce a possible risk of such an ignition in petrochemical terminals, refineries and plants.

The human body charges itself with electrical charges, so need to wear adequate shoes and clothes which should have anti-static feature. And choosing the proper hand protection is the most important because hands may contact to the flammable vapor directly.
In addition direct contact to some kinds of flammable fuels is said to be harmful.
SHOWA is proposing hand protections that have both anti-static and oil resistant feature.
Our hand solutions could not only reduce a possible risk of ignition accident hazard due to static electricity but also protect hands from direct touch with harmful fuels and oils.

02

Dealing with oil

Need to protect the hands from direct contact with oils.
When workers replenish oils, there is a possibility that oils will spill on their hands.
Workers may often contact oil covered nozzle tip or hose.

Dealing with oil

Wearing hand protection with oil resistant feature is effective way to guard the hands against oils.
SHOWA offers various hand protections that can protect from hands to arms.
Please try our hands protections with suitable lengths which you need.

03

Transportation

When workers carry fuel drums by rolling, there is a risk that their hands especially palms are damaged by rubbing strongly if they do not use hand protections.

Transportation

A high grip performance is also required for suitable hand protections because workers need to grasp the outer rim of drum top firmly.
SHOWA offers various hand protections that have both high durability and high grip performance.
