Features

• Materials: The outer gloves are made of high-quality butyl rubber, a synthetic material specifically chosen for its superior impermeability to gases and water vapors. The inner liners are separate, moisture-wicking white cotton knit components designed to be worn under the rubber shell for comfort and sweat absorption.
• Protection Level: These are 7 mil (0.007 inch) thick, classified as Type III "Reduced Mil" gloves, which balance extreme chemical protection with the tactile dexterity needed for precise tasks.
• Design: Features an extended 14-inch gauntlet cuff that provides maximum protection by pulling well beyond the wrist to cover the mid-forearm.
• Safety Criticality: In military documentation, these gloves are classified as non-aviation Critical Safety Items (CSI), meaning their technical integrity is vital because a failure could lead to serious injury or death in hazardous environments.
• Usage: Originally designed for high-risk CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) environments, they are reusable and often used in industrial settings for handling hazardous materials like fentanyl, acids, or esters when properly cleaned after exposure.
• Agent Resistance: The butyl rubber construction is highly resistant to biological agents and chemical warfare agents, including mustard gas (S-mustard) and nerve agents.
• Compatibility: These gloves are engineered to integrate seamlessly into a full protective ensemble, sealing at the cuffs with hazmat suits like the JSLIST (Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology) or MkIVA / BDO to ensure total body protection.
