TouchNTuff 93-800 Outperforms Standard Nitrile Disposable Gloves in Acetone Protection

Ansell Limited recently introduced TouchNTuff 93-800, marking a significant advancement in chemical-resistant hand protection. This new disposable glove directly addresses the performance limitations of conventional nitrile disposable gloves when handling aggressive solvents, particularly in acetone-intensive environments. The innovation demonstrates how targeted product development can solve persistent workplace safety challenges in solvent-dependent industries.

Superior Acetone Resistance Compared to Conventional Nitrile Disposable Gloves

The core advantage of TouchNTuff 93-800 lies in its extended acetone resistance—the glove maintains integrity for at least 15 minutes when exposed to acetone, substantially outperforming standard nitrile disposable gloves in the same conditions. This performance gap reflects a fundamental shift in protective technology. While traditional nitrile disposable gloves often fail within minutes under aggressive chemical exposure, TouchNTuff 93-800 provides workers with a meaningful safety margin during critical handling and cleanup operations. For industries where solvent contact is frequent and unavoidable, this extended protection window translates directly into reduced health risks and improved workplace safety compliance.

Advanced MICROCHEM Technology and International Certifications

The glove’s enhanced durability stems from Ansell’s proprietary MICROCHEM Chemical Barrier Technology, which employs a sophisticated multi-layer construction specifically engineered to resist ketones and other harsh solvents. This technical foundation ensures the product meets stringent EN ISO 374-1 Type A standards, internationally recognized benchmarks for chemical protection. Beyond chemical resistance, the glove also achieves EN388 2110A certification for abrasion and cut resistance, providing comprehensive protection across multiple hazard categories. The ergonomic design further enhances practical utility by maintaining dexterity and minimizing hand fatigue during extended use—a critical factor often overlooked in heavy-duty protective equipment.

Addressing Real-World Solvent Handling Challenges

In solvent-intensive manufacturing, chemical processing, and industrial maintenance environments, rapid glove degradation has traditionally forced frequent changeovers, increasing both operational costs and worker exposure to harmful chemicals. This cycle creates a compounding problem: more glove changes mean more unprotected contact windows. TouchNTuff 93-800 breaks this pattern by delivering prolonged, dependable defense during solvent handling and specialized cleaning tasks. The glove reduces unnecessary changeovers, extends safe working periods, and provides workers with the consistent protection demanded by modern industrial standards.

TouchNTuff 93-800 is available through authorized Ansell distributors and sales representatives in selected global regions.
