Chemical Resistant

Legion Safety Products offers a wide selection of chemical resistant gloves for various needs. We carry nitrile chemical resistant gloves, natural rubber latex safety gloves, neoprene chemical-resistant gloves and PVC coated work safety gloves. The gloves are generally available in lined and unlined varieties.

Nitrile chemical-resistant gloves combine manual dexterity and protection in wet and oily applications, offering better protection against aromatic and petroleum solvents, caustics and various animal fats than neoprene chemical resistant gloves. Nitrile safety gloves also provide excellent protection against cuts, abrasions and punctures. Nitrile chemical resistant gloves are well-suited for use in the industries of oil refining and petrochemicals, aerospace and automotive degreasing, various machining operations that utilize cutting coolants and oils, metal fabrication, graphic arts and printing cleanup, and electronics (semiconductors, circuit board manufacturing). An example of a good chemical resistant safety glove is the Ansell Sol-Vex chemical-resistant nitrile glove, which does not promote contact dermatitis and is compliant with the FDA regulations for food contact, making it a great choice for food processing applications, such as red meat and poultry processing, dairy, vegetables, fruit, and canning.
Neoprene chemical resistant gloves are a great replacement for natural rubber latex chemical-resistant gloves and vinyl safety gloves. Neoprene chemical-resistant gloves provide superior liquid resistance and protection against acids, alcohols, oils, solvents, esters, grease and animal fats. Neoprene gloves also resist snags, cuts, punctures and abrasions and can withstand temperature fluctuations. However, neoprene safety work gloves do not protect against ketones or toluenes. Neoprene does not contain latex proteins that can cause allergic reactions.
