Ansell 117208 Nitrile Chemical Resistant Gloves Medium

Product Description

The ANSELL 117208 is an unsupported nitrile chemical resistant glove from the 37-165 series, designed for industrial and maintenance applications where protection against chemical exposure and mechanical hazards is required. Constructed entirely of nitrile with no fabric liner, the glove delivers direct tactile sensitivity while maintaining a thickness in the 15 mil to 24.9 mil range. The sandpatch grip surface enhances control on wet or oily workpieces. At 15 inches overall length, the glove provides extended forearm coverage. Licensed professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial service install and handle chemical compounds, solvents, and cleaning agents where this level of hand protection is warranted.

The 117208 suits medium-duty chemical handling tasks in residential and commercial service environments. Its straight cuff style allows for quick donning and removal during active service calls. The glove is sized for both mens and womens medium hands (numeric size 8), making it a practical addition to a shared shop or service vehicle PPE kit. Unlined construction keeps the interior profile thin, supporting dexterous work with fittings, valves, and small components without sacrificing protection against abrasion, puncture, and snag hazards.

Installation Notes

Nitrile chemical resistant gloves should be inspected for cuts, pinholes, or degradation before each use. Verify chemical compatibility with the specific agents being handled prior to use, as no single glove material resists all chemicals. Gloves should be donned before contact with any chemical or solvent and removed carefully to avoid skin contamination. Proper PPE protocols per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 apply for hand protection selection and use.
