TouchNTuff 93-800: Advanced Acetone Protection for Demanding Industrial Environments

Ansell Limited, a global leader in safety and protection solutions, has introduced the TouchNTuff 93-800, a disposable glove engineered to deliver superior protection in solvent-heavy work environments. This innovation directly addresses a persistent challenge faced by workers handling aggressive chemicals, particularly when acetone and related compounds are involved in daily operations.

Why Extended Acetone Resistance Matters

In industries reliant on solvents and chemical applications, workers frequently encounter acetone during cleaning, degreasing, and manufacturing processes. Conventional nitrile gloves typically fail within minutes when exposed to acetone, forcing frequent changeovers that interrupt workflow and increase chemical exposure risks. The new TouchNTuff 93-800 changes this equation by providing at least 15 minutes of acetone resistance—a substantial improvement that extends work intervals and reduces the hazards associated with repeated glove replacement.

Cutting-Edge Chemical Barrier Technology

The TouchNTuff 93-800 leverages Ansell’s proprietary MICROCHEM Chemical Barrier Technology, a multi-layer construction specifically designed to withstand harsh chemical environments. The glove meets EN ISO 374-1 Type A standards, confirming its effectiveness against ketones and aggressive solvents. Additionally, it carries EN388 2110A certification, ensuring reliable protection against abrasion and cut hazards—critical requirements for multi-purpose industrial work.

Enhanced Comfort and Durability

Beyond chemical resistance, the glove’s ergonomic design prioritizes user comfort and control. The construction enables improved dexterity while minimizing hand fatigue during extended wear, allowing workers to maintain precision even during demanding tasks. This combination of protection and usability makes TouchNTuff 93-800 practical for continuous application in acetone-heavy environments.

Real-World Protection in Solvent-Intensive Work

For industries where solvent handling is routine—including manufacturing, maintenance, laboratories, and specialized cleaning operations—the extended acetone resistance translates to measurable safety gains. Fewer glove changes mean reduced downtime and lower cumulative chemical exposure, directly supporting workplace safety protocols.

Now Available in Select Regions

TouchNTuff 93-800 is currently available through Ansell’s authorized distributor network and sales representatives in designated markets. Organizations in acetone-intensive industries can access this advanced protection through established Ansell supply channels.
