Ansell's TouchNTuff 93-800 Redefines Industrial Safety With Enhanced Acetone Resistance

For workers in solvent-intensive industries, hand protection has always been a critical challenge. Standard disposable nitrile gloves quickly degrade when exposed to harsh chemicals, forcing frequent changeovers that disrupt workflow and increase exposure risks. Ansell Limited recently introduced a solution designed to address this persistent industry problem: the TouchNTuff 93-800, a next-generation disposable glove engineered to provide superior resistance against acetone and other aggressive solvents.

Breaking Through Chemical Barriers: What Makes TouchNTuff 93-800 Different

The standout feature of this new protective glove is its remarkable acetone resistance, offering at least 15 minutes of protection—significantly longer than conventional nitrile options on the market. This extended safeguard against acetone exposure makes it particularly valuable in industries where chemical handling and solvent-based cleaning are routine operations. The glove achieves this performance through Ansell’s proprietary MICROCHEM Chemical Barrier Technology, a multi-layer construction specifically engineered to defend against ketones and harsh solvents.

Beyond chemical protection, the TouchNTuff 93-800 delivers comprehensive industrial safety credentials. The glove meets EN ISO 374-1 Type A standards for protection against ketones and powerful solvents, while also achieving EN388 2110A certification for abrasion and cut resistance. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during extended use, allowing workers to maintain dexterity and control when handling delicate tasks alongside robust chemical protection.

Why This Matters for Industrial Operations

In solvent-handling environments, the combination of extended acetone resistance and enhanced durability means fewer glove changes per shift, lower operational costs, and reduced chemical exposure for workers. The TouchNTuff 93-800 represents a meaningful advancement for facilities where conventional gloves simply cannot provide adequate protection during demanding cleaning and solvent application tasks. By extending the timeline before glove replacement becomes necessary, this innovation directly improves both worker safety protocols and operational efficiency.

The TouchNTuff 93-800 is now available through Ansell’s authorized distributor network and sales representatives across selected regions, making it accessible for organizations seeking to upgrade their personal protective equipment standards in high-chemical-exposure settings.
