Chemical Resistant Gloves
Reliable Hand Protection for Hazardous Chemicals, Solvents & Controlled Environments
When hands are exposed to harsh chemicals, solvents, acids, or gases, standard work gloves aren’t enough. Cleanroom chemical gloves are engineered to act as a critical barrier between your skin and potentially harmful substances, helping protect workers, maintain compliance, and reduce risk in demanding environments.
At NCI Clean, we offer a wide range of chemical-resistant gloves designed for cleanrooms, laboratories, industrial facilities, and maintenance operations. Contact us for more information, or request a quote today. Our solvent-resistant gloves for labs provide proven protection, comfort, and confidence across a range of applications.

What are Chemical-Resistant Gloves?
Chemical-resistant gloves are explicitly designed to protect hands from chemical exposure, including:- Acids and bases
- Organic and chlorinated solvents
- Hydrocarbons and ketones
- Industrial gases and chemical mixtures
Common glove materials include:
- Neoprene and rubber blends
- Nitrile
- Polyethylene (PE)
- EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) laminate constructions
Each material offers different levels of resistance depending on the chemical involved, making proper selection essential for safety and performance.
Cleanroom Chemical Glove Applications
Whether you’re handling small volumes in a lab or managing aggressive chemicals on the production floor, the right glove helps protect both people and processes. Cleanroom solvent-resistant gloves for labs are commonly used across the following industries and environments:
- Chemical and research laboratories
- Cleanrooms and controlled environments
- Pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing
- Industrial processing and manufacturing
- Maintenance and repair operations
- Hazardous materials handling
- Solvent, acid, and chemical transfer tasks

Understanding Standards, Ratings & Performance Terms
Chemical-resistant gloves are often evaluated using recognized standards such as EN 374, which assesses chemical protection performance.Key Terms to Know
- Breakthrough Time: How long a glove resists a chemical before it permeates through
- Penetration Resistance: Protection against leaks through seams, pinholes, or defects
- Degradation Resistance: How the glove material holds up physically when exposed to a chemical
Always review manufacturer chemical-resistance charts and compare them against the chemical’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS), especially when dealing with mixtures or prolonged exposure.

Safety Tips & Best Practices
To maximize protection:- Always review the chemical’s SDS and match it with the manufacturer's resistance charts
- Inspect gloves before use for tears, punctures, discoloration, or stiffness
- Replace gloves immediately if degradation is visible or suspected
- Follow proper donning and doffing procedures to avoid cross-contamination
- Store gloves properly to maintain integrity and performance
