Butyl Polymer Immersion Gloves

Butyl Polymer Immersion Gloves

Description:

Butyl Polymer Immersion Gloves are protective gloves made from butyl rubber, a synthetic rubber polymer known for its excellent chemical resistance and impermeability. These gloves are commonly used in laboratories and industrial settings where there is a risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. The gloves are designed for immersion in chemicals, offering superior protection and durability during prolonged contact. They are especially useful for tasks that require high levels of dexterity and tactile sensitivity while still offering chemical and physical protection.

Specifications:

• Material: Butyl rubber polymer (known for its high impermeability to gases and liquids)

• Color: Typically black or gray, but color may vary depending on the brand

• Thickness: Varies, typically around 0.4 mm to 1 mm, depending on the glove's intended use

• Length: Typically 12 inches to 18 inches (measured from the fingertip to the wrist or elbow, depending on the type)

• Size Options: Available in various sizes (S, M, L, XL) to fit different hand sizes

• Resistance: Excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, alcohols, and some organic solvents

• Temperature Resistance: Can withstand a wide range of temperatures, typically up to 100°C (though care should be taken with very high temperatures)

• Dexterity: Designed for high tactile sensitivity and flexibility, ensuring ease of movement and handling while working with hazardous materials

• Grip: Often textured or embossed for enhanced grip, even when handling wet or oily substances
