Collection: Butyl/Viton gloves

The combination of high-quality materials provides protection that goes well beyond the standard of conventional protective gloves:

• Long breakthrough times: Butyl as a strong barrier against gases and vapors, Viton as a strong barrier and protection against aggressive solvents
• High media resistance: The material is reliably resistant to oils, greases, fuels, ketones, and esters
• Flexibility even in the cold: Butyl remains pliable at low temperatures, enabling a secure grip
• Multi-layer construction: Two layers of different materials – an inner butyl layer for impermeability, an outer Viton layer for solvent resistance
• High level of comfort: Ergonomically shaped protective gloves with high flexibility; comfort remains reliably high even over long periods of wear
• Reusability: Can be used multiple times after proper cleaning, making them economical for continuous use

Thus, the protective gloves not only fulfill the requirements for protection and comfort in a professional environment for the short term, but also reliably over the long term.

Butyl and Viton gloves are used wherever handling highly potent chemicals places high demands on hand protection. In such work environments, protective gloves made of butyl and Viton provide reliable protection where simple models are no longer sufficient. Depending on the extent of chemical contact, either butyl or Viton represents the appropriate material. The models are available in various wall thicknesses and cuff lengths: short versions are suitable for assembly and laboratory work, while models with long cuffs offer additional protection for the forearm when filling and emptying tanks. A long cuff is also advisable if splashes could extend beyond the wrist; for the assembly of delicate components, however, a short version is recommended.

Both materials meet high chemical protection requirements, yet they differ in their respective strengths. Butyl provides a powerful barrier and is the top choice for gases, vapors, ketones, esters, and many acids and alkalis, though it shows less resistance to hydrocarbons. Viton fills precisely this gap and is particularly resistant to fuels, oils, and aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Compared to standard neoprene or nitrile protective gloves, both materials offer significantly longer breakthrough times against aggressive chemicals. Disposable nitrile gloves are generally designed only for brief splash contact and achieve only short breakthrough times with chlorinated solvents. Disposable gloves are therefore more suitable for short-term tasks with low risk. Those handling strong acids or strong solvents should opt for a specialized material instead of nitrile that can reliably withstand prolonged exposure. In cases of alternating substances, Viton-butyl gloves, which combine both materials, are recommended.

Our product range includes various models, sizes, wall thicknesses, and cuff lengths. In our range, you will find, for example, the butyl gloves Butoject 897 and 898 from KCL, the fluoroelastomer glove Vitoject® 890 from KCL, and the chemical protective glove AlphaTec® 38-001 from Ansell. The Vitoject® 890 is also frequently searched for under the spelling “Vitoproject”; whether Vitoproject or Vitoject®, it refers to the same Viton glove. With many years of experience in chemical protective gloves, KCL stands for high-quality protective gloves, with each version tailored to specific media. The models from KCL offer strong performance and consistent quality. At Technigro, you can obtain protective gloves for heavy-duty applications that reliably protect against chemicals, thus ensuring the safety of your employees. You can conveniently purchase butyl gloves online at Technigro and benefit from tested quality, high safety, and long-lasting wearing comfort.
