Chemical Resistant Gloves in Newcastle & Penrith | Industrial Chemical Gloves Australia
Handling acids, solvents, oils, or other nasty stuff? You need hand protection that actually works—not just basic work gloves. At KIS Group, we stock top-notch chemical-resistant gloves in Newcastle and Penrith, keeping workers safe from burns, absorption, and contamination in tough industries.
Our range of nitrile chemical gloves, neoprene gloves, PVC gauntlets, and chemical handling gloves is trusted by professionals in manufacturing, cleaning, laboratories, agriculture, food processing, and industrial maintenance. Whether you need lightweight dexterity for precision chemical work or heavy-duty gauntlet protection for bulk handling, we provide solutions that meet Australian safety standards and deliver lasting performance.
Chemical Glove Materials & Protection Levels (AS/NZS 2161 & EN374)
In Australia, chemical protective gloves are tested under AS/NZS 2161 and the international EN374 standard. Choosing the right glove material is critical — no single material protects against all chemicals, and an incorrect selection can create a false sense of security.
Glove Material | Chemical Resistance | Great For |
Nitrile | Oils, fuels, greases, lots of solvents | Automotive, engineering, cleaning, general industry |
Neoprene | Acids, alkalis, alcohols, hydraulic fluids | Labs, chemical processing, maintenance |
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | Acids, alkalis, water-based stuff | Janitorial, cleaning, wet chemical jobs |
Chloronite (Nitrile/Neoprene Mix) | Wide range—oils, acids, alkalis, solvents | Heavy industrial, serious chemical work |
Nitrile PU (Polyurethane Coated) | Oils and chemical splashes | Precision tasks, engineering |
Why This Matters Down Under: Aussie laws like the Work Health and Safety Act and Hazardous Chemicals Code say you must match PPE to the exact chemicals. A glove for cleaners won't cut it against solvents—it's not optional, it's the law.
Why Choose Our Chemical Gloves?
- Spot-On Protection: Rated to EN374 & AS/NZS 2161 for the exact chemicals your crew faces—acids, bases, oils, you name it.
- Top Materials: Nitrile, neoprene, PVC, chloronite, nitrile-PU—built for the job.
- Long Cuffs & Gauntlets: From 27cm to 45cm to shield forearms during splashes or dips.
- Grip That Sticks: Textured for wet/oily tools and gear—no slips.
- Comfy All Day: Flexible, so no hand cramps on long shifts.
Applications of Chemical Gloves
Industrial Cleaning & Janitorial: Workers handling cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, and degreasers need gloves that resist both alkalis and water-based substances without degrading quickly. Extended cuff designs protect wrists during bucket and mop work.
Manufacturing & Engineering: Assembly and maintenance workers exposed to oils, cutting fluids, hydraulic fluids, and lubricants require nitrile or nitrile-PU gloves that maintain dexterity while blocking dermal absorption.
Chemical Processing & Laboratories: Handling concentrated acids, alkalis, and solvents demands broad-spectrum chemical resistance. Neoprene and chloronite materials offer protection against a wider range of aggressive substances than standard nitrile.
Agriculture & Horticulture: Pesticide, herbicide, and fertiliser handling requires gloves that resist chemical permeation during spraying, mixing, and application tasks.
Automotive & Transport: Mechanics and transport workers routinely contact fuels, oils, brake fluids, and battery acid. Nitrile gloves offer strong resistance to petroleum-based substances while maintaining grip on tools
Dual Chemical & Cut Protection: Some environments combine chemical splash risk with sharp edge hazards — such as metal fabrication with chemical treatments. A combined solution eliminates the need to change gloves between tasks.
Bulk Liquid & Immersion Handling: Tasks involving immersion in chemical baths, acid washes, or bulk liquid transfer require longer gauntlet gloves that protect the forearm as well as the hand.
