Excellent grip For Safe Handling

Working with chemicals not only means you'll require gloves to protect your skin, but also ones with high grip to prevent any accidents occurring. Made of nitrile and featuring an embossed structure on the palms and fingers, these Nitrex gloves ensure high grip for the safer handling of hazardous substances, as well as helping in reducing hand fatigue.

How Comfortable Are These Chemical Gloves?

Chemical safety gloves aren't known to be the most comfortable, but are must for the prevention of burns and injury. To ensure your hands are both safe and comfortable, the VE801 chemical gloves have been designed with a cotton flock lining which absorbs perspiration, keeping hands dry and comfortable all day long and therefore improving productivity.

Silicone Free

With a silicone free construction, these gloves help prevent contamination and traces or defects when handling. One suitable application to wear these silicone free gloves is during coating operations in the automotive industry, where even small traces of silicone can result in adhesive failure, and cause primers, paints and other coats to fail to be applied correctly. Other work in which these gloves can also be worn to prevent contamination and traces include when handling metal or glass.

Are These Gloves Suitable for Food Contact?

These gloves are not certified for food contact. For a similar glove with food contact certification, we recommend the Polyco Nitri-Tech III Chemical Resistant Gloves.

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.
