The 150°F temperature limit is relevant to glove bag use; which statement is accurate?

• A. It applies to all construction materials regardless of temperature.
• B. Glove bags can be used on surfaces up to 150°F.
• C. Glove bags cannot be used above 100°F.
• D. Temperature is not a factor.

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that glove bags have a defined heat tolerance. The 150°F limit refers to the surface temperature of the material you’re enclosing with the glove bag, not the air temperature around it. If the surface is hotter than 150°F, the bag film or the seals can soften, fail, or leak, compromising containment and safety.

That’s why the statement saying glove bags can be used on surfaces up to 150°F is the best choice. It aligns with how these systems are designed to perform: within that temperature range, the bag material and heat-sealed seams remain intact to prevent fiber release and maintain containment.

Why the other ideas don’t fit: claiming the limit applies to all materials regardless of temperature ignores how different surfaces and heat transfer can affect bag performance. Saying it cannot be used above 100°F contradicts the stated 150°F limit. Stating that temperature isn’t a factor ignores the very reason for the rating and the need to verify surface temperatures before use.
