Chemical Resistant Gloves
Category:
Chemical Resistant Gloves
The 15mil thick nitrile material provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and some acids. Please refer to the chemical resistance chart for specific details.
Category:
Chemical Resistant Gloves
These gloves are ideal for chemical processing, laboratory work, cleaning, and food handling where chemical resistance is crucial.
Common materials include:
• Nitrile – Resistant to oils, fuels, and many chemicals.
• Neoprene – Provides resistance against acids, oils, and some solvents.
• Latex (Natural Rubber) – Good for water-based solutions but not suitable for solvents.
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Resistant to acids, fats, and petroleum-based chemicals.
• Butyl Rubber – Ideal for handling ketones and strong acids.
• Viton – Offers high resistance to aromatic and chlorinated solvents.
Hand Protection
No, not all gloves are suitable for food handling. Food-grade gloves are made of materials that are safe for contact with food, such as vinyl or nitrile. It’s important to check that the gloves are specifically labeled as food-grade before using them for food handling.
Yes, our hand protection products comply with EN388 (mechanical protection) and EN374 (chemical protection) standards, as well as SIRIM-DOSH approval for the Malaysian market.
Yes, our heat-resistant gloves are designed to protect against high temperatures, making them ideal for industries like metalworking, glass handling, and baking.
Yes, there are gloves specifically designed for cold weather, such as insulated gloves or gloves with a waterproof and windproof membrane. These gloves are designed to keep your hands warm and protected in cold weather conditions.
Yes, electrical insulation gloves are specifically designed to protect workers from electrical hazards. They are tested and certified to meet industry standards for electrical insulation, such as ANSI or OSHA standards. These gloves are commonly used in electrical and utility work, as well as in any industry that involves working with electrical equipment.
Yes, gloves can protect against punctures and cuts, but it depends on the type of gloves. Cut-resistant gloves are specifically designed to protect against cuts and punctures, and are made from materials such as Kevlar or steel. They are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and food processing.
Yes, we offer a range of chemical-resistant gloves that comply with EN374, suitable for handling hazardous substances, including acids, solvents, and oils.
Choosing the right glove depends on the specific hazards in your workplace. We offer gloves for protection against cuts, chemicals, heat, punctures, and more. Check the specific glove specifications to match your needs.
Gloves should fit snugly but not be too tight. The best way to determine the right size is to measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) and then compare that measurement to the size chart provided by the manufacturer.
The frequency of replacement depends on the type of gloves and the conditions in which they are used. Disposable gloves should be replaced after each use, while work gloves may last for several months or longer. It’s important to regularly inspect the gloves for signs of wear or damage and replace them as needed to ensure continued protection.
No, disposable gloves are designed for single use only. Reusing disposable gloves can lead to cross-contamination, as well as holes or tears, which can increase the risk of exposure to hazards. They should be discarded after each use and replaced with a new pair.
Coated gloves are beneficial for protecting hands from cuts, scrapes, and other hazards. They can also provide grip, improve dexterity and can be used in applications involving chemicals or oils. These types of gloves are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas.
Common materials include:
• Nitrile – Resistant to oils, fuels, and many chemicals.
• Neoprene – Provides resistance against acids, oils, and some solvents.
• Latex (Natural Rubber) – Good for water-based solutions but not suitable for solvents.
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Resistant to acids, fats, and petroleum-based chemicals.
• Butyl Rubber – Ideal for handling ketones and strong acids.
• Viton – Offers high resistance to aromatic and chlorinated solvents.
