Chemical protection gloves can be used for a wide variety of tasks, for instance in the agricultural sector, for cleaning or handling chemicals in labs or industrial environments or when working with oils, greases or fuels – professional gloves are used in all these fields to provide the wearer with reliable protection. But what gloves are right for your particular needs?
What differences are there between the different chemical protection gloves?
Strauss has a range of tested, high-quality gloves to protect your hands against chemicals. Selection of the right gloves depends on the material and the chemicals that you come into contact with at work.
The materials differ greatly: be it nitrile, PVC, butyl or latex – each material has its own advantages and is therefore suitable for different tasks:
Nitrile gloves
Nitrile gloves have a durable coating with oil, grease and carbon-resistant properties. Despite the solid coating, sensitivity is not compromised. The coating is ideal for heavy-duty tasks with oily or dry materials.
durable coating
good resistance against oil and grease
good insulation
good grip on dry and oily objects
for medium to heavy-duty work
PVC gloves
PVC protection gloves offer perfect protection against the wet because they are highly moisture-repellent and hardly absorb any water. The material is very flexible and wear-resistant. Thanks to their resistance to oils and greases, PVC is ideal for use in refineries, when working with fuels or handling oils and grease. Likewise, PVC work gloves are also ideal for working in cold temperatures because they remain flexible.

Butyl protection gloves can be used for a wide range of applications, be it in the kitchen or canteen, for cleaning work, in the agricultural sector or when handling paints, adhesives and other chemicals in the laboratory.
