Are silicone gloves insulated against electricity?

In modern industry and daily life, the application of electricity is everywhere, and the accompanying electrical safety problems are increasingly attracting people's attention. Silicone products have a wide range of applications today, silicone gloves as a common protective equipment, its insulation and anti-electrical properties play an important role in ensuring the safety of personnel.

1. Insulation performance of silicone gloves
Silicone gloves are protective gloves made of silicone material with good elasticity and wear resistance. More importantly, the silicone material itself has a high resistivity, which makes the silicone gloves have excellent insulation properties. When the human body comes into contact with the charged body, the silicone gloves can effectively block the current path and reduce the damage of the current to the human body. Therefore, silicone gloves are widely used in electric power, electronics, chemical and other industries need to contact live bodies.

2. Electric resistance of silicone gloves
The electric resistance of silicone gloves is not only related to its material characteristics, but also closely related to its production process, thickness, use method and other factors. Generally speaking, the higher the insulation resistance of silicone gloves, the better their electrical resistance. At the same time, the thickness of the gloves is also an important consideration, and thicker gloves usually have better insulation. However, over-thick gloves can affect hand flexibility, so insulation and comfort need to be weighed in practical applications.

3. Application of silicone gloves
Silicone gloves are widely used in the following situations because of their excellent insulation and anti-electrical properties:
Power industry: When conducting power equipment maintenance, maintenance and other operations, silicone gloves can effectively protect staff from electric shock damage.
Electronic industry: In the process of production and maintenance of electronic products, silicone gloves can prevent electrostatic damage to sensitive components.
Chemical industry: When handling certain chemicals, silicone gloves can effectively isolate chemical substances from skin contact, reducing the risk of chemical burns.
