With the continuous advancement of technology, people's attention to radiation protection is increasing day by day. Lead-free radiation protection gloves, as an important protective tool, have been widely used in medical, scientific research, industrial and other fields. Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure the protective performance and service life of gloves.

1. Cleaning Methods

The correct cleaning method is the key to maintaining the good condition of lead-free radiation protection gloves.

Firstly, when choosing a cleaning agent, a mild neutral cleaning agent should be chosen. Avoid using highly irritating chemicals such as strong acids, strong bases, etc., as these substances may damage the protective material of gloves and reduce their protective performance. At the same time, do not use rough cleaning tools such as steel wire balls to avoid scratching the surface of the gloves.

The cleaning steps can first soak the gloves in an appropriate amount of neutral detergent solution to fully soften the dirt. Then, gently wipe the surface of the gloves with a soft cloth or sponge, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the gloves. For stubborn stains, the concentration of the cleaning agent or soaking time can be appropriately increased, but excessive cleaning should be avoided to avoid affecting the protective performance of the gloves.

The frequency of cleaning should be determined based on usage. If gloves are frequently used, it is recommended to clean them after each use to remove surface dirt and bacteria. If the frequency of use is low, regular cleaning can be carried out, such as once a week or once a month. Meanwhile, it is important to promptly replace the cleaning solution to maintain the cleaning effect.

2. Storage Conditions

The appropriate storage environment also has a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of lead-free radiation protection gloves.

Gloves should be stored in a dry, cool, and well ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight, as the ultraviolet rays in sunlight may cause the glove material to age and become brittle. At the same time, it is also important to avoid environments with high temperatures and humidity, as high temperatures can cause gloves to deform and high humidity can lead to glove mold and bacterial growth.

When placing gloves, avoid folding and squeezing them. Gloves can be placed flat on a dedicated glove box or rack to maintain their shape. If it needs to be stored for a long time, some desiccants can be placed inside the gloves to absorb moisture from the air and prevent the gloves from getting damp.

3. Inspection and Replacement

Regular inspection of lead-free radiation protection gloves is an important measure to ensure their safety and reliability.

The importance of inspection lies in timely detection of glove damage, cracks, signs of aging, and other issues. These issues may affect the protective performance of gloves and expose users to radiation environments. Therefore, once a problem is found with the gloves, they should be replaced promptly.

Generally speaking, the inspection cycle can be determined based on the frequency of use and the environment. If gloves are frequently used, it is recommended to have them checked once a week. If the frequency of use is low, a monthly or quarterly inspection can be conducted. The inspection points include whether the surface of the gloves is damaged, cracked, discolored, etc., whether the elasticity of the gloves is good, and whether the protective performance of the gloves has decreased.

4. Summary

Proper care of lead-free radiation protection gloves ensures their effectiveness. To maximize glove performance and lifespan, using proper cleaning and storage is paramount. Regular inspection and timely replacement of gloves ensure the protective performance and service life of gloves, and provide reliable radiation protection for users.
