Strong mechanical performance with high durability
Performs exceptionally under repeated disinfectant exposure
Protection against radioactive contamination
FDA compliant composition (CFR 21 § 177.2600)
Cost-effective solution for demanding environments

Chemical and Environmental Resistance

EPDM glove box gloves are designed to perform in aggressive chemical and sterilised environments.

Recommended or acceptable resistance to:

Alcohols and disinfectants
Acids and bases
Strong oxidising agents
UV exposure, ozone, and ageing
Hydrogen peroxide sterilisation (35% and 50%)
Gamma radiation (25–50 kGy)
Peracetic acid sterilisation (3%)

Conditional use:

Certain solvents depending on exposure conditions

Not recommended:

Ketone solvents
Chlorinated solvents
Aromatic solvents
Aliphatic oils and solvents

Mechanical Performance

These gloves are built for durability and repeated use in demanding applications:

Tensile strength: > 18 MPa
Elongation at break: > 400%
Puncture resistance: > 20 N (EN 388)
Modulus (100%): < 2.5 MPa

This ensures a strong balance between flexibility and resilience.
