Brilliant Range of Chemical Resistance

Cleaners frequently encounter chemicals and solvents that aren't skin friendly. These strong liquids can cause irritation, rashes, blotching and sore, red patches on the skin.

Polyco Nitri-Chem Gloves use a strong and durable nitrile rubber coating to prevent chemicals penetrating and coming into contact with the skin. They are perfect for general, industrial and at-home cleaning, no matter whether you're a professional or you're scrubbing your sink. 

Which Size Polyco Nitri-Chem Chemical Gloves Are Right for Me?

Polyco Matrix Chemical Safety Gloves are available in four different sizes. To find the perfect one for you, simply measure the circumference of your palm (ignoring the thumb area) and the length of your hand as indicated in the image below.

Once you have your measurements, please consult the sizing chart below to find the correct size for your hand.

Protection Ratings and Chemical Safety Standards

EN 374

• EN 374: J, K, L

EN 374 EN 374 is the European safety regulation that determines the chemical resistance of garments and gloves. The ratings seen below are determined by exposing the fabric to various amounts of each chemical to assess the level damage done to the fibres.

EN 388

• EN 388: 3101

EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.

Key Features and Attributes

• Affordable and inexpensive protection against solvents and chemicals
• Shields the hand against three commonly encountered chemicals
• Flock lining absorbs perspiration as you sweat during the day
• Nitrile rubber coating enhances grip strength and stability
• Lack of latex removes allergic reaction issues
• Available in four different sizes for a guaranteed perfect fit

Extended Cuff Enhances Splash Protection

No matter how careful you are, if you're using spray bottles, sponges and cloths, tiny chemical particles are going to linger on your skin if you're not covered up. Polyco Matrix Chemical Gloves use a lengthy wrist cuff to maximise coverage at the hand, wrist and forearm areas, ensuring these liquids aren't able to rest on your skin.

Flock Lining Absorbs Perspiration

Working long hours in hot and sweat conditions can cause intense perspiration which leads to that nasty blotchy, irritated redness you so often get when taking off your gloves. Polyco Pura Gloves use a soft and plush flock lining to absorb sweat and prevent slick rubbing that causes irritation, eczema and other dermatological conditions.

Accelerator and Latex Protein Free

A common issue with latex and rubber gloves is that they cause the release of proteins and accelerators that aggravate sensitive skin. Polyco Pura Gloves are made with PVC, which is inherently waterproof and grippy.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
