BU3535 - CHEMSTOP, Butyl and Viton®-butyl Chemical Resistant Gloves

Chemstop butyl and Viton®-butyl gloves are highly impermeable to gas or water vapors, protecting workers who handle highly toxic substances. Butyl construction is flexible, providing excellent dexterity even in low temperatures. Butyl protects against esters, ketones, strong oxidizing agents and a wide range of harsh chemicals that natural rubber is less effective against, because it is a harder and less porous material that nonetheless has an elastic quality. Butyl rubber will degrade when exposed to agents such ammonia or certain solvents, but much more slowly than similar elastomers, making it the most robust material for chemical resistance gloves.
Viton®-butyl gloves go a step further, doubling your protection with gloves that protect against caustic chemicals in all temperature extremes. Viton® is a fluoroelastomer, which is a special purpose fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber with wide chemical resistance, especially in high temperature applications in different media. Suitable for a wide variety of highly toxic chemicals.
