How Can These Gloves Protect My Hands?
The AlphaTec Chemical Gloves are a top-quality form of protection for your hands when undertaking a variety of tasks. The Type B chemical resistant design offers light protection for the handling of hazardous chemicals and acids, which is particularly useful in laboratory, janitorial, and sanitisation industries. The nitrile coating and reverse-lozenge design also allows for safer handling of liquids and grease, enhancing grip to minimise the risk of slippage.
Ansell's moisture-wicking Aquadri Moisture Management Technology helps to keep your hands drier for longer in wet environments. The spongy foam layer on the inner surface of the glove absorbs more than 10x the liquid as ordinary cotton flocking alone.
