Showa 878-08 Chemical Resistance Glove Medium 25 Mil

Product Description

The SHOWA 878-08 is an extra-thick butyl rubber chemical and acid resistant glove built for trade and industrial professionals who work with highly corrosive chemicals. At 25 mil thickness, it delivers superior permeation resistance against acids, ketones, and esters. Butyl rubber is recognized as the highest-performing glove material for resistance to gas and water vapor permeation. The smooth surface finish maintains tactility for detailed hand work even in demanding chemical environments. Sold as a pair, this glove is sized for medium hands and features a rolled cuff for additional wrist protection.

The 878-08 is suited for use in industrial maintenance, chemical processing, plumbing service involving drain chemicals or acid-based cleaners, and pool and water treatment applications where workers handle strong oxidizers or acidic compounds. The rolled cuff style helps prevent chemical runback during overhead or submerged work. Its black colorway resists staining and maintains a professional appearance across repeated use cycles.
