Heavy-Duty Protection Against Acetone: Ansell's Latest Disposable Glove Innovation

Ansell Limited, a leading provider of safety and protection equipment, recently introduced TouchNTuff 93-800, a cutting-edge disposable glove engineered to withstand aggressive chemical exposure. The product stands out for its exceptional performance against acetone and other harsh solvents, addressing a critical challenge faced by workers in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing industries.

Superior Acetone Resistance for Extended Work Periods

The TouchNTuff 93-800 represents a significant advancement in solvent protection technology. Traditional nitrile disposable gloves typically fail within minutes when exposed to acetone and similar ketone-based solvents, forcing frequent glove changes and increasing worker exposure to hazardous chemicals. In contrast, Ansell’s new design offers at least 15 minutes of acetone resistance, providing substantially longer protection for extended solvent-handling tasks and cleaning operations. This extended durability reduces the need for constant changeovers, directly translating to improved worker safety and operational efficiency.

Advanced Chemical Barrier Technology and Certification Standards

At the heart of TouchNTuff 93-800 is Ansell’s proprietary MICROCHEM Chemical Barrier Technology, which utilizes a sophisticated multi-layer construction to defend against aggressive solvents. The glove has earned certification under EN ISO 374-1 Type A standards, confirming its effectiveness against ketones and potent chemical agents. Additionally, it meets EN388 2110A certification for abrasion and cut resistance, ensuring comprehensive hand protection across multiple hazard scenarios. This dual-certification approach demonstrates rigorous compliance with international safety standards.

Ergonomic Design for Maximum Comfort and Control

Beyond chemical resistance, the glove incorporates thoughtful ergonomic design features that reduce hand fatigue during extended wear. The carefully engineered fit enhances dexterity, allowing workers to maintain precision during delicate tasks while handling dangerous solvents. This balance between protection and usability makes it well-suited for technicians, maintenance personnel, and laboratory professionals who require both safety and tactile sensitivity.

Now Available Through Authorized Distribution Channels

TouchNTuff 93-800 is accessible through a network of authorized Ansell distributors and sales representatives across selected geographic regions, making it readily available to organizations operating in solvent-intensive industries where acetone exposure presents ongoing workplace hazards.
