Active Gear H4011 chemical-resistant nitrile gloves, 0.38 mm wall thickness in size 11/2XL, are disposable gloves designed for protection against a variety of chemicals and contaminants. Made from green nitrile, they offer ambidextrous fit, tactile sensitivity and enhanced tear resistance. The diamond-textured grip improves handling, and the straight-cuff design extends protection to the forearm. Gloves are supplied individually in polyethylene bags and are free from latex and silicone; they are antistatic and rated as safe for food contact.
Advantages
These nitrile gloves combine chemical resistance with a thin 0.38 mm profile for improved dexterity. They are tested to relevant EN standards for mechanical and chemical protection, feature a diamond-pattern textured surface for reliable grip, and come in an extended 330 mm length to protect the lower forearm. Single-packaging helps keep each pair clean before use.
Suitable for
- Laboratory handling of chemicals and samples
- Industrial maintenance and cleaning tasks
- Food handling where nitrile gloves are required
- Environments requiring antistatic properties
When it may not be suitable
These gloves are not tested for viral protection according to EN ISO 374-5:2016, so they may not be appropriate where viral barrier certification is required. Also, although they resist many chemicals listed in the EN ISO 374-1 classification, prolonged exposure to strongly corrosive substances or aggressive solvents beyond the tested classes may exceed their protective capabilities.

How to use
Choose the correct size (11/2XL) and inspect each glove for visible defects before use. Put on gloves with clean, dry hands; ensure the straight cuff covers the intended area of the forearm. After use, remove gloves by turning them inside out to contain contaminants, dispose according to local regulations, and wash hands. Single polyethylene packaging helps maintain cleanliness until first use.
What to consider before purchase
- Required chemical resistance: verify the gloves tested chemical classes match the substances you handle
- Needed mechanical protection level for abrasion, cut and puncture
- Whether viral protection certification is required for your application
- Size and length needed for forearm coverage (330 mm)
Usage recommendations
Use these Active Gear H4011 nitrile gloves for routine laboratory work, industrial cleaning, and food handling where the listed chemical resistances and mechanical ratings are sufficient. Avoid relying on them for untested viral protection or for prolonged immersion in chemicals beyond the tested classes; consult chemical permeation data for specific exposure times if required.
