Often worn when handling electronic components, these gloves drain static electricity to protect sensitive parts from damage. Made from synthetic rubber, they’re a good option for those with latex allergies. Plus, they resist spills and splashes from oil, acids, and solvents. They’re textured to give you a secure grip on both wet and oily objects. To prevent particulates from contaminating your work, they’re also powder-free. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Nitrile gloves are more resistant to oil and grease than neoprene gloves. They also resist punctures and tears better than neoprene. It’s common to wear them to grease machines or service engines.

Gloves that meet EN 374 are rated to European standards for protection from chemicals.

Use these sleeves alone or with gloves to protect your arms from chemicals and other liquids.

Polyethylene sleeves offer economical protection in environments where abrasion resistance is not a concern. They resist liquid splashes, but they won’t hold up to continuous liquid exposure. Metal-detectable sleeves are used to keep contaminated material from leaving a facility—they’re common in food processing plants. To help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, they contain metal additives that will set off metal detectors if they—or any piece of them—fall into your line. They’re also blue, making them easy to spot. They are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Polyolefin sleeves are abrasion resistant, and they protect against splashes of acid or other chemicals. They also hold up to occasional contact with paint spray, water, and other liquids.
