Chemical-resistant gloves

Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications from chemical processing and manufacturing to utilities, engineering and agriculture, the SKYTEC Nero not only protects workers against water-based chemicals but delivers abrasion and tear resistance performance. The result is a natural-rubber glove suitable for heavy-duty handling, processing and maintenance tasks.

Featuring a hexagonal textured pattern on the palm and fingertips for enhanced grip in wet and slippery conditions, SKYTEC Nero is said to be extremely comfortable due to its anatomical shape, designed to minimise hand fatigue. The glove is 0.65mm thick, ensuring flexibility and dexterity. Comfort is further enhanced through the pure cotton flock lining which absorbs perspiration.

Available in sizes small to extra-large, the CE certified Cat III glove, has an EN388:2003 rating of 2020 providing good abrasion and tear resistance and is EN374-3 certified, delivering in particular level 4 protection against chemicals including Sodium Hydroxide (40%) and Sulphuric Acid (96%).

“The need to balance physical performance with chemical resistance is increasingly important across a wide range of industry sectors and the launch of Nero is designed to further help our customers achieve this. Not only does it deliver when it comes to protection but with a real focus on wearability, it’s a great solution for challenging working environments.” said Globus marketing manager Steve Shale.

As part of its approach to helping customers better understand the issues surrounding workplace hand protection, Globus has created a free infographic explaining the EN 374:2003 standard, the testing procedures and what the resulting data means.
