Chemical-Resistant Chemical
Glove Material
Nitrile chemical-resistant gloves combine manual
dexterity and protection in wet and oily applications,
offering better protection against aromatic and
petroleum solvents, caustics and various animal
fats than neoprene chemical-resistant gloves.
They also provide excellent protection against cuts,
abrasions and punctures. Nitrile chemical-resistant
gloves are well-suited for use in the industries of
oil refining and petrochemicals, aerospace and
automotive de-greasing. Additionally, these gloves can
be used in various machining operations that utilize
cutting coolants and oils, metal fabrication, graphic
arts, printing cleanup, and electronics.
Neoprene chemical-resistant gloves
are a great alternative to natural rubber latex
chemical-resistant and vinyl safety gloves. They
provide superior liquid resistance and protection
against acids, alcohols, oils, solvents, esters, grease
and animal fats. They also can withstand temperature
fluctuations. However, they do not protect against
ketones or toluenes. Furthermore, neoprene does not
contain latex proteins that can cause allergic reactions.
