Importance of Chemical Gloves


In the event of a chemical spill, the hands are likely to be the first part of the body affected. Chemical resistant gloves provide an effective barrier between the chemicals and the skin, preventing chemical injuries, including burns and irritation. Many industries work with chemicals, including the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture and manufacturing. For all of these companies, protecting your employees against the risks of chemical injuries is essential.

Choosing Chemical Gloves


Seton has an extensive range of chemical resistant gloves, many from well-known brands. All will provide effective protection against chemicals, but many also incorporate other safety features, such as protection against mechanical hazards, and thermal linings to allow for use in cold conditions and to aid in heat resistance.

The range of chemical resistant gloves at Seton includes both reusable and disposable chemical resistant gloves. The reusable gloves are made of durable materials to provide long-lasting protection and can be easily cleaned. A stock of disposable gloves is always handy to provide for any visitors coming to your premises. They are also ideal for when strict hygiene makes it necessary to dispose of the gloves after use. All of the chemical resistant gloves are comfortable to wear, have a secure grip and allow good dexterity for the wearer. For other environments you might need other types of work gloves that will suit your needs.

Chemical resistant gloves will provide good protection against chemical injuries when used in conjunction with other chemical safety products. Defend the entire body with chemical resistant clothing and protect against chemical fumes using respirators. While every effort should be made to avoid chemical spills, accidents happen even in the best-regulated workplaces. The chemical resistant clothing will protect against injuries, and if you have well-stocked spill control, any accidents can be quickly dealt with, without injury.

Ensuring your workers are protected against the burns and irritations of chemical injuries will allow your staff to confidently and efficiently carry out their work. The provision of chemical resistant clothing, including chemical resistant gloves, is an effective but straightforward measure you can take to achieve this. Other PPE may also need to be used in high risk environments.

What gloves should you use when handling chemicals?

Chemical spills are not the only reason to source a supplier of good-quality chemical resistant gloves. Some job roles include everyday tasks involving the handling of high-risk substances. Other employers need to stock up on chemical gloves for occasional use, such as to protect cleaning crews from skin contact with harsh chemicals.

The best gloves when handling chemicals depends on the substance in question, and other operational factors.

For example, our quality range of chemical-proof gloves includes ones that are ideal for situations in which other forms of skin protection are required, such as PPE gloves.
We also stock chemical gloves suitable for working in water, which are also oil resistant, and which create important PPE solutions in specialist industries.
Or, you may need single-use nitrile gloves for intricate tasks in laboratories and R&D departments, which allow dexterity and freedom of movement without compromising on chemical resistance.

How do I know if my gloves are chemical resistant?

The most assured solution is to buy compliant and reliable chemical gloves from us, a leading supplier of safety products. This (and our product labelling) provides important reassurance that your PPE is fit for purpose. Our chemical resistant gloves are manufactured to match, if not exceed European standards and directives on safety gloves of this type.

They are also puncture resistant, comfortable, and durable. This sort of peace of mind is vital for employers sourcing workwear gloves that are authentically chemical resistant.

Are nitrile gloves latex free?

Selecting nitrile gloves to shield hands from harmful substances provides you with the added assurance that this is latex-free PPE. This is because synthetic rubber is used to create nitrile gloves to keep employees’ hands protected if they have a latex allergy.

Our non-latex disposable gloves come in various sizes and thickness levels, and are equally as strong and reliable as chemical gloves made from alternative substances.

Are nitrile gloves food safe?

There are good reasons to choose nitrile gloves for food handling processes. Not only do they act as a method of protecting hands from substances that could create skin rashes or stains, for example, but they are also the ideal chemical glove for food companies.

The disposable nitrile gloves we supply are a particularly cost-effective way to meet food hygiene laws, while also protecting workers’ hands.

Black v blue nitrile gloves

When buying chemical resistant gloves, and PPE for food handling or medical processes, it is important to know the difference between blue nitrile gloves and black nitrile gloves.
The black versions are designed to be PPE for heavy-duty operations, when a thicker chemical glove would ensure that hands are unaffected by contaminants such as oil, grease and lubricants.

Blue nitrile gloves are medical-grade or ideal chemical gloves for food manufacturing and service, as they are thinner but still a great source of protection for hands.

Reasons to source butyl rubber gloves

Butyl gloves are formulated to provide highly protective chemical resistant gloves that are also easy to clean and reusable. Butyl rubber gloves can withstand a wide range of hazardous chemicals.

Their durability and strength enable them to be worn multiple times, which means that you get superior chemical protection from chemicals gloves that are also value for money.

Ensure your safety with the right size chemical resistant gloves

Although we supply hand PPE that is compliant, reliable and of excellent quality, chemical resistant gloves should be purchased with size factors in mind. This is not just to ensure that this vital protection equipment ‘fits like a glove’ on individual wearers, but there are also occasions when the length of chemical gloves matters, to protect wrists and lower arms.
