Ansell Launches Advanced Acetone-Resistant Glove to Combat Extended Solvent Exposure

Ansell Limited, a globally recognized leader in safety and protection solutions, has recently announced the launch of TouchNTuff 93-800—an innovative disposable glove engineered to deliver prolonged protection against harsh chemical solvents. The standout feature of this new offering is its remarkable ability to withstand acetone exposure for at least 15 minutes, substantially outperforming conventional nitrile disposable gloves in solvent-intensive environments.

Superior Acetone Resistance for Challenging Industrial Tasks

The TouchNTuff 93-800 addresses a critical gap in workplace safety by maintaining its protective barrier when exposed to acetone and other aggressive solvents. Industries relying on solvents for manufacturing, cleaning, and maintenance operations have long faced the challenge of rapid glove degradation, necessitating frequent changeovers that increase both costs and chemical exposure risks. This extended acetone protection capability transforms the way professionals approach hazardous material handling, reducing the need for constant glove replacements during demanding tasks.

Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Rigorous Certification Standards

Built on Ansell’s proprietary MICROCHEM Chemical Barrier Technology, the multi-layered construction of the TouchNTuff 93-800 is specifically designed to resist penetration by acetone and other ketone-based solvents. The glove has been certified to EN ISO 374-1 Type A standards, confirming its effectiveness against chemical hazards, while simultaneously meeting EN388 2110A certification for superior abrasion and cut resistance. This dual certification ensures comprehensive protection across multiple workplace hazards.

Enhanced Dexterity and Reduced User Fatigue

Beyond chemical protection, the TouchNTuff 93-800 prioritizes worker comfort and productivity. Its ergonomic design maintains tactile sensitivity and manual dexterity, allowing users to perform intricate tasks without compromising safety. This balance between protection and functionality helps minimize hand fatigue during extended use, supporting workers through longer shifts in chemically demanding environments.

Market Availability and Industry Impact

The TouchNTuff 93-800 is now accessible through Ansell’s authorized distributor network and dedicated sales representatives across selected regions. As industrial operations increasingly demand higher performance standards from personal protective equipment, this acetone-resistant glove represents a significant advancement in chemical barrier technology, setting a new benchmark for disposable glove protection in solvent-heavy industries.
