Showa 878R-08 Chemical Resistant Glove 25 Mil Medium

Product Description

The SHOWA 878R-08 is an extra-thick butyl rubber chemical and acid resistant glove designed for industrial and trade applications involving highly corrosive chemicals. At 25 mil thickness, it provides robust protection against concentrated acids, ketones, and esters. Butyl rubber offers the highest permeation resistance to gases and water vapors of any glove material available, making this glove a reliable barrier in demanding chemical handling environments. A rough surface grip texture supports precision handling and adds durability over extended use. Sold as a pair in size Medium with a rolled cuff style.

This glove is suited for use in chemical processing facilities, industrial maintenance, wastewater treatment, HVAC refrigerant handling, and any trade environment where workers contact corrosive acids or aggressive solvents. The rolled cuff provides additional wrist and forearm coverage during immersion or splash-risk tasks. Size Medium fits most standard hand sizes and is appropriate for technicians and maintenance professionals who require certified chemical barrier protection during service operations.
