Product Overview
The Chem 330 Nitrile Plus Gauntlet is far more than a standard protective glove. Engineered as a robust barrier against a variety of industrial chemicals, the A812 provides high-level security for those working in demanding environments. This green nitrile gauntlet is designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty protection and the tactile sensitivity required for precision tasks. It is an essential component for any workplace where chemical safety is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Certified Chemical Resistance: Tested against common industrial chemicals, ensuring your hands remain shielded from hazardous substances during handling.
- Anti-Slip Patterned Grip: The textured surface provides superior dexterity in both wet and dry conditions, reducing the risk of accidents caused by compromised grip.
- Protein-Free Composition: Being free of soluble proteins, these gloves are an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
- Lightweight Construction: The thin, flexible design allows for ultra-sensitive touch, making it possible to handle small components or perform intricate laboratory work without the bulk of traditional safety gloves.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade nitrile with a soft cotton interior, these gauntlets are designed for long-term wear without the discomfort of skin irritation. The nitrile outer shell is exceptionally resilient, offering protection while remaining thin enough to allow the wearer to feel their work. This is particularly important in environments where 'feel' is as critical as safety.
The green finish is not merely aesthetic; it provides high visibility in a workspace, while the gauntlet length ensures that the wrist and lower forearm are protected from splashes. The performance is further enhanced by the interior lining, which helps manage moisture, keeping hands comfortable during extended shifts.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Chem 330 Nitrile Plus Gauntlet because it is a piece of specialised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any attempt to print or embroider onto the nitrile surface would compromise the material's integrity. Even a microscopic perforation or the application of heat-pressed vinyl could create a point of failure in the chemical barrier, potentially allowing hazardous substances to reach the skin. Safety, in this instance, must take precedence over branding.
Use Cases
These gauntlets are ideally suited for professionals in the aerospace and chemical industries who require dependable protection during fluid handling. They are equally effective for industrial cleaning crews, laboratory technicians, and workers involved in light assembly where chemical exposure is a risk. Their balance of protection and sensitivity also makes them a favourite in precision engineering environments.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, ensure the gauntlet fits snugly but allows for full finger extension. A glove that is too tight may fatigue the hand, while one that is too loose will sacrifice the dexterity that this lightweight model is designed to provide. If you are working in particularly cold environments, these can be layered over thin cotton liners, though this may slightly reduce the tactile sensitivity.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your chemical gauntlets is vital for ensuring they continue to provide the protection you rely on. After each use, especially when handling corrosive substances, the exterior should be rinsed with clean water to remove any chemical residue. Failing to do so can cause the nitrile to degrade prematurely, leading to cracks or thinning of the protective layer.
Dry the gauntlets naturally, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or direct sunlight. High heat can cause the nitrile to become brittle, which significantly reduces its lifespan and flexibility. Always store them in a cool, dry place and inspect the surface for any pinholes or tears before each use; if the barrier is breached, the gauntlets must be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety.
