The Importance of Selecting The
Correct Chemical Protection Glove
Often times chemical-resistant gloves are purchased solely based on price. However, one must consider a few items before purchasing that given industrial safety work glove.
- What chemicals are being used?
- How is the glove being used?
- How many disposable gloves are we going through at a time?
- Do operators require fine tactile touch?
- Do we have a glove option that might last longer? And provide added protection?
Butyl gloves offer superior chemical protection against a wide array of industrial used chemicals. Butyl gloves typically have a higher upfront cost versus a single-use type glove, but they can be used time and time again - simply wash and air dry. Some end users use the same set of butyl gloves for months, they would have used thousands of pairs of disposables in that same time. These end users are finding great success in using these gloves, as well as the cost savings associated with not needing to purchase as many pairs of gloves.
If you are seeking a long-lasting and tactile glove that protects against a wide variety of chemicals, then consider butyl gloves. If you are using a lot of gloves, need protection against cleaning agents, harsh chemicals, live agents, pathogens, vectors and other micro-organisms and want a glove that will last - you must check out these American Made Butyl Gloves built to Military Specifications from Guardian Manufacturing.
Butyl gloves are available in smooth and rough finishes, these different finishes allow the end user to have a great grip, good dexterity and offer superior chemical protection as well.

The reduced-mil butyl style gloves are elastic, flexible and soft to wear and they look and feel like a single-use latex or nitrile glove, but be assured, butyl is a protective beast!
