Gloves
For handling alkalis such as sodium carbonate (soda ash), potash and slaked lime.
What to look for
Alkalis irritate skin and are worse in your eyes. Wear disposable nitrile gloves whenever you handle them, and wash your hands afterwards. If alkali gets in your eyes, rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get medical advice. Keep alkalis in labelled, closed containers away from food and children.
