Butyl glovebox gloves
The standard choice when gas or moisture must not pass through the glove. Supplied in Singapore and Malaysia by HY Polyequipment PTE LTD, the official Piercan distributor.
Why choose Butyl gloves
-
Excellent impermeability to gases and liquids, keeping oxygen and moisture out of inert-atmosphere gloveboxes
-
Excellent resistance to ketone solvents and alcohols
-
Antistatic, for work where static must be controlled
-
Excellent tolerance of autoclave sterilisation
-
Good resistance to ozone, UV and natural ageing
What it is
Butyl is an isobutylene-polyisoprene rubber. Piercan’s version is a black glove, reference BHP (high-performance butyl), valued for its very low permeability.
When to choose something else
Butyl is not recommended with chlorinated, aromatic or aliphatic solvents and oils. For strong acids and oxidisers, CSM gloves perform better. Not sure? Send us your chemical list.
