Chemical Gloves
When it comes to personal safety, quality chemical gloves are incredibly important. Clean-up crews, emergency response teams, experimenting professionals, and others must protect their hands from a variety of toxic and harmful elements. First Responder Network provides many types of high quality, protective chemical gloves.
Protective Chemical Gloves
Butyl gloves are very protective against dangerous corrosives and give the skin the protection it needs from several harmful elements. Butyl gloves also protect against gaseous materials that can burn or damage unprotected skin. The durability of butyl gloves doesn't hinder functionality, as the wearer still has finger flexibility.
Viton gloves are appropriate for situations where butyl gloves lack durability. Whereas butyl gloves are best suited for handling ketones and esters, they lack strength when handling other substances, like gasoline. Viton gloves lack strength when handling ketones and esters, but stand up well to other agents, like gasoline, hexane, and other fuels.
Viton gloves are typically more expensive than butyl chemical gloves because of the expensive chemical from which they are manufactured. Butyl gloves will work in most situations; however, it's important to know what situations call for viton-based gloves. The high heat resistance and durability of viton gloves make them the most appropriate safety gloves for situations dealing with hydrocarbons. Both types of gloves hold up well against a variety of acids. For more information on which gloves are best for your needs, contact us at 1-888-972-3389.
