GLOVES

Chemical protection gloves can be used for a wide variety of tasks, for instance in the agricultural sector, for cleaning or handling chemicals in labs or industrial environments or when working with oils, greases or fuels – professional gloves are used in all these fields to provide the wearer with reliable protection. But what gloves are right for your particular needs?

engelbert strauss has a range of tested, high-quality gloves to protect your hands against chemicals. Selection of the right gloves depends on the material and the chemicals that you come into contact with at work.

The materials differ greatly: be it nitrile, PVC, butyl or latex – each material has its own advantages and is therefore suitable for different tasks:

Nitrile gloves have a durable coating with oil, grease and carbon-resistant properties. Despite the solid coating, sensitivity is not compromised. The coating is ideal for heavy-duty tasks with oily or dry materials.

• durable coating
• good resistance against oil and grease
• good insulation
• good grip on dry and oily objects
• for medium to heavy-duty work

PVC protection gloves offer perfect protection against the wet because they are highly moisture-repellent and hardly absorb any water. The material is very flexible and wear-resistant. Thanks to their resistance to oils and greases, PVC is ideal for use in refineries, when working with fuels or handling oils and grease. Likewise, PVC work gloves are also ideal for working in cold temperatures because they remain flexible.

• fluid-repellent
• ideal when handling oils and grease
• wear-resistant
• for coarse work tasks
• good grip on wet and oily objects

Butyl protection gloves can be used for a wide range of applications, be it in the kitchen or canteen, for cleaning work, in the agricultural sector or when handling paints, adhesives and other chemicals in the laboratory. Butyl rubber safety gloves offer excellent protection to trade professional and in industrial environments.

• good resistance against acids and alkalis
• remains elastic at low temperatures
• gastight

Latex or rubber gloves are highly elastic and tear-resistant whilst also offering protection against liquids. Thanks to their good wear-resistance, they are ideal for light to medium dry or wet work tasks.

• good wet grip
• flexible and elastic
• watertight
• for medium to heavy-duty work
