Butyl Glove Size Guide:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Small gloves are currently out of stock.
Our butyl rubber protective CBRN gloves are engineered to provide standardized protection from common CBRN threats at an affordable price.
These CBRN gloves are produced by a third-party manufacturer and designed to meet NATO standard AEP-38 for protective equipment. These same gloves are currently in use and trusted by military and police professionals all over the globe.
Good butyl gloves are absolutely crucial for any CBRN PPE kit, as they provide you with the flexibility and range of movement you’ll need to navigate dangerous situations—without exposing your hands to airborne threats.
NOTE: These protective CBRN gloves feature the same butyl rubber construction as our MIRA Safety HAZ-GLOVES. Both also feature cotton inner liners to absorb sweat and maximize easy handling. The primary difference is that our HAZ-GLOVES are substantially (129%) thicker, as they are designed for extended use. These gloves are thinner but offer better dexterity.
MIRA Safety Protective CBRN Gloves (like all butyl rubber gloves) should be stored in their original packaging in a dark room at a temperature between 41°F and 77°F with a relative humidity of less than 75%. In these conditions, these gloves can be stored for 10 years or longer. These gloves are 100% butyl rubber and should be handled as such, so inspect for cracking especially in flexion spots after use.
What do Butyl chemical resistant gloves mean?
Butyl chemical resistant gloves are made from butyl rubber, a synthetic material known for its high resistance to chemicals and gases. These gloves provide superior protection against a wide range of hazardous substances, including ketones, esters, and strong acids. They are particularly effective in environments where workers are exposed to toxic chemicals, making them ideal for use in laboratories, chemical plants, and industries dealing with hazardous materials.
