QUICK TIPS #33: No Compromise Hand Safety: Protect Against Chemical & Cut Risks

ANDREA HOWARD: Hello and welcome to Quick Tips from MSC Industrial Supply, a show where we invite the manufacturing community to share their expertise with us. In many industrial environments, workers might face multiple safety hazards at a time, meaning they could potentially need protection from both chemicals and sharp objects. The challenge is that traditional chemical gloves often lack cut resistance, while cut-resistant gloves may not offer the right chemical protection, creating a serious safety gap.

Fortunately, our partners at Ansell have developed a solution that combines both features into one glove, offering comprehensive protection. Let's take a look.

NARRATOR: Introducing the next generation of chemical and cut protection. Workers face dual hazards, sharp objects and chemicals. That's why they need protection that covers both. The AlphaTec 58-835 gloves protect against both chemical and cut hazards, delivering excellent protection and comfort, setting a new standard in safety. As industries demand higher protection, AlphaTec 58-835 expands Ansell’s range, equipping workers for today's toughest challenges.

Featuring nitrile and polyisoprene shells for chemical resistance, ISO F / ANSI A6 cut protection, and an orange visible indicator to identify when chemical safety is compromised. What's the difference between AlphaTec 58-835 and the existing 58-735? Both gloves offer the same chemical resistance, but the 58-835 is engineered for higher cut hazards, delivering added safety in demanding applications.

The 58-835 is ideal for high cut risk environments, while the 58-735 excels in moderate cut risk tasks. Simplify your PPE selection with AnsellGUARDIAN Chemical. No guesswork, just the right protection every time.
