Made with a three-layer design, the Microflex 93-260 is said to offer tough protection against a broad range of chemicals, while still providing the dexterity and tactility of a thin, disposable glove.

“Traditional disposable gloves are designed to provide protection against chemicals for only short periods of time – in the event of a splash; while chemical gloves typically have a thicker, sturdier design for longer lasting protection,” explained the company. “The Microflex 93-260 is a thin, disposable glove designed to offer higher levels of protection against chemicals for longer periods of time than ordinary single use gloves.”

The glove is designed to resist a range of ‘aggressive’ chemicals through its three-layer design. The exterior nitrile layer delivers maximum protection against organic solvents, while the soft neoprene middle layer provides acid and base resistance. A final interior layer provides a continual dry feel, while also easing the donning and doffing process.

“There are many jobs in different industries that require people to be reliably protected against chemicals while manipulating small parts and pieces with their fingers,” said Joe Kubicek, president and general manager of the Ansell Single Use Global Business Unit. “As the thinnest chemical resistant, single use glove available, the Microflex 93-260 offers the resistance against harsh chemicals that these workers need, with the comfort, fit and feel they need to be more productive.”
