CONTAINMENT FAQs

Glovebags are used to create a sealed, controlled environment for handling and removing hazardous materials, such as asbestos and radioactive contamination, particularly from pipes, valves, and other fixed components.

Glovebags provide a flexible containment solution with built-in gloves that allow workers to manipulate and remove hazardous materials without direct exposure, thereby reducing the risk of contamination.

Glovebags are typically designed for single-use to prevent cross-contamination, especially when dealing with highly hazardous materials. However, certain glovebags may be reused if they are properly decontaminated and inspected before reuse.

Glovebags come in various sizes to accommodate different diameters and lengths of pipes and other equipment. Custom sizes can also be manufactured to meet specific requirements.

Glovebags often feature zippers, Velcro, or adhesive seals to ensure airtight containment. After installation, additional sealing, such as taping or applying RTV sealant, may be used to secure the closure and prevent any leakage of contaminants.

Yes, glovebags are made from materials that are resistant to various chemicals, making them suitable for handling both radiological and chemical hazards.

Glovebags are commonly used in nuclear power plant maintenance, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other industries where safe containment of materials is critical

Used glovebags should be disposed of following local regulations for hazardous waste, which often requires them to be placed in specially designated containers and managed by certified disposal services.

Glovebags are widely used in the nuclear industry, chemical processing, hazardous waste management, and any other sector where there is a need for safe containment and removal of hazardous materials.

Glovebags are designed for rapid installation. With features like continuous Velcro strips, a glovebag can be securely attached and sealed around a pipe or valve in just a few minutes, minimizing downtime and exposure.
