Chemical Resistant Gloves

Protect your hands from chemicals, oil, and other abrasive liquids with chemical resistant gloves. There are many industries that involve working with small, fiddly components that are surrounded by oil, such as ship maintenance, oil and gas, and offshore renewable energies. When this extends to chemical processing, chemical resistant gloves are a crucial aspect of the safety attire. These gloves can also come with cut resistance, meaning there is also protection against sharp edges and blades. It is vital to check the washing instructions to be certain that any viruses on the gloves are killed.

About Chemical Resistant Gloves

In work environments with chemical hazards, chemical-resistant work gloves are essential PPE. They provide a protective barrier from various chemicals, allowing workers to go about their daily shifts without the need to worry about damage to their hands.

Industries such as manufacturing facilities, laboratories, cleaning, and agriculture require reliable protection to prevent skin irritation, burns, and other injuries caused by contact with hazardous substances.

We stock a wide range of chemical gloves designed to provide protection for most industries, from handling corrosive liquids to working with cleaning agents. Our hand-selected chem gloves are designed to withstand exposure to various chemicals over varying lengths of time, ensuring you'll find a glove suited to your specific needs.

Getting The Best Gloves For Working With Chemicals For You

Grip

Always consider a chemical-resistant glove's grip when evaluating its suitability for the task at hand. A better grip reduces the risk of mistakes, accidents, and burns.

Breathability

While clammy hands won't affect a glove's protective ratings, they can shorten the amount of time a worker is willing to wear them. If workers remove their chemical-proof gloves to let their hands breathe, this may increase the risk of exposure to chemicals/hazardous substances.

Chemical Resistance

Consider the length of time you will need protection from chemicals, and remember to dispose of the glove according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Correct Chemical Certification

Ensure you have chosen a glove that provides protection against the correct kinds of chemicals in your work environment. Keep in mind that chemical work gloves don’t shield against every type of chemical!

Materials

Consider any potential allergies or sensitivities you may have to common glove materials. For individuals with latex allergies, for example, non-latex alternatives like nitrile gloves should be chosen.

Temperature

Ensure the glove is rated to provide resistance if working in environments with extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
