When it comes to handling chemicals, you better believe that there is a safety glove involved. Chemical-resistant or chemical protection gloves are essential to protecting the skin from chemical handling injuries. These type of safety gloves can be the difference between hands that stay safe and unaffected by hazardous chemicals, dangerous liquids and toxic substances from those that are scarred and otherwise harmed through inadequate protection.

In case you didn’t realize it, there are chemical-resistant gloves that can help off-set the costs associated with the consumption costs of single-use gloves. While single-use gloves have always been a critical component in infection control and reducing cross-contamination, the replacement costs can sneak up and bite you. Washable for re-use, chemical protection gloves keep you covered and will help you conserve and save on those single-use gloves when used for surface cleaning, chemical handling and disinfecting. 

We’ve selected the following chemical safety gloves based on costs, tactility, permeation (hold-out or chemical seeps) and degradation (physical changes that happen to a glove). Chemical-resistant gloves can be safe for re-use when they're properly washed and air-dried.

These gloves may be positioned as chemical safety gloves, but they are also ideal for wet applications such as commercial fishing, construction, window washing, gutter cleaning, oil and gas, maintenance, metal fabrication, agriculture, automotive detailing, meat, seafood, poultry and food processing!

Here are a few recommended styles for your considering.

GUARDIAN THIN MIL BUTYL GLOVES

Made in Ohio by Guardian Manufacturing, butyl outperforms the heaviest of single-use type nitrile gloves and nothing matches butyl’s permeation and degradation. The reduced +5-mil and +7-mil style butyl gloves are flexible, soft to wear, look and feel like a black single-use nitrile glove, but be assured, butyl is a protective beast! In fact, one pair of these Guardian's thin mil butyl gloves can translate to using several thousand pairs of heavy gauge disposable type nitrile gloves.
