Showa Best Glove 878-09 Butyl Chemical Resistant Gloves, 14 in, 25 mil, Size 9, Black, 1 Pair

What the gloves are and who uses them

These SHOWA 878 butyl gloves provide chemical resistance for industrial and laboratory tasks. The unlined 14-inch length covers the forearm while the 25-mil thickness balances protection with dexterity. They meet EN 388:2003 0121 abrasion ratings and EN 374-2:2003 chemical permeation standards. Supplied as a single pair in size 9 black.

Check your setup before ordering

Confirm that size 9 matches the wearer’s hand measurements for a secure fit. Verify that butyl material is compatible with the specific chemicals handled in your application. Ensure the 14-inch cuff length satisfies your forearm coverage requirements. The unlined interior may affect comfort during extended wear in hot environments.

What this replaces and when to upgrade

These gloves replace lighter nitrile or latex options when superior resistance to ketones, esters and concentrated acids is required. The jump is worth it when permeation breakthrough times for those chemical families exceed the limits of your current hand protection. They are not suited for tasks needing cut-level performance above the rated 0121 abrasion score or for high-temperature thermal hazards.
