Ansell 284978 Chemical Resistant Gloves Xl Nitrile

Product Description

The ANSELL 284978 is a supported nitrile chemical resistant glove designed for workers handling animal fats, fuels, grease, oils, and select solvents in industrial and trade environments. Built on the 58-335 series platform, it features a smooth nitrile outer shell over a foam-lined interior with a gauntlet cuff for extended wrist and forearm coverage. The glove measures 15 inches in overall length and falls in the 15 mil to 24.9 mil thickness range, providing a balance of dexterity and chemical barrier performance. It carries an ANSI/ISEA Abrasion Resistance Level 5 rating, the highest tier, making it well suited for rough-surface contact. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service pros working around lubricants and petroleum-based fluids will find this glove appropriate for daily service tasks.

The 284978 is sized X-Large (numeric size 10) and fits both men and women requiring that size. It is intended for use in maintenance, mechanical service, and light industrial applications where contact with oils, greases, fuels, and animal fats is routine. The gauntlet cuff design helps prevent liquid from entering the glove during immersion or splash-prone tasks. FDA approval makes it usable in food-adjacent environments where incidental contact with regulated substances is a concern.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use glove for X-Large (size 10) users requiring supported nitrile chemical protection in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Inspect gloves for punctures, tears, or degradation before each use. Do not use with chemicals outside the stated resistance profile without consulting the manufacturer chemical resistance guide. Dispose of gloves that show signs of swelling, discoloration, or structural compromise. This PPE item does not require tool-based installation but should be stored away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ozone-generating equipment to preserve nitrile integrity.
