Unmatched Chemical Resistance with Superior Durability
The SHOWA CHM Chem Master Neoprene Chemical Glove is a flexible chemical-resistant glove designed for industrial workers who handle chemicals, wet parts, oily parts, cleaning solutions, coatings, and maintenance materials in automotive, chemical, food processing, janitorial, painting, and manufacturing environments.
Built with neoprene-over-natural-rubber construction, the SHOWA CHM provides a chemical-resistant barrier while maintaining flexibility, sensitivity, and comfort for extended work. The unsupported glove design includes a cotton flock liner that helps keep the hand comfortable during long shifts, while the tractor-tread embossed grip helps fluids run off the glove surface for better handling control in wet or slippery conditions.
The SHOWA CHM is rated CAT III and listed with EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type A chemical protection code AKLMNT, EN ISO 374-5:2016 microorganism protection, and EN 388:2016+A1:2018 2021X mechanical performance. It is also listed for food contact, making it useful for food processing and sanitation teams that need chemical-resistant hand protection for washdown, cleaning, and handling tasks.
Bulk Ordering & Procurement Support
Need SHOWA CHM Chem Master gloves for a chemical handling team, manufacturing plant, food processing facility, janitorial crew, painting operation, automotive facility, municipal department, or recurring PPE program? ASA Supplies supports business, government, municipal, contractor, facility, food processing, janitorial, and industrial purchasing teams with bulk quote support, volume pricing, purchase orders, and product sourcing assistance.
Safety Note
Chemical-resistant gloves must be selected based on the specific chemical, concentration, exposure time, temperature, task, degradation, and permeation data. EN 374 Type A does not mean the glove is suitable for every chemical or every exposure condition. Review the chemical Safety Data Sheet and SHOWA chemical resistance data before use. Inspect gloves before each use and replace them if torn, punctured, swollen, stiffened, degraded, or contaminated beyond your facility’s reuse policy.

Buying Guide: Neoprene Chemical Gloves vs. Nitrile Chemical Gloves
Choose SHOWA CHM neoprene-over-natural-rubber gloves when workers need flexibility, wet grip, flock-lined comfort, and chemical resistance for cleaning, chemical treatment, coating preparation, and wet or oily handling tasks.
Choose nitrile chemical gloves when the chemical compatibility data shows nitrile is a better match for the specific oil, grease, fuel, solvent, or chemical exposure. Neither neoprene nor nitrile should be treated as universal chemical protection. Always match glove material to the chemical, concentration, contact time, and task.
For cut hazards, consider a chemical-resistant cut glove. For extended chemical immersion or aggressive chemical exposure, review higher-protection chemical glove options and manufacturer permeation data.
FAQ
What is the SHOWA CHM Chem Master glove used for?
It is used for chemical handling, cleaning, coating preparation, wet or oily parts handling, food processing sanitation, janitorial work, and industrial maintenance.
What chemical rating does this glove have?
SHOWA lists the CHM with EN ISO 374-1 Type A chemical protection and chemical code AKLMNT.
What does AKLMNT mean?
AKLMNT identifies the tested chemicals under EN ISO 374-1. It does not mean the glove works for every chemical. Always check chemical compatibility data for the exact chemical and exposure conditions.
Is this glove food contact approved?
SHOWA lists the CHM with food contact certification. Food facilities should still follow their sanitation and glove-use procedures.
Is this glove latex free?
Do not treat it as latex-free without documentation. SHOWA describes the glove as neoprene over natural rubber, so latex-sensitive users should verify suitability before use.
How thick is the glove?
SHOWA lists the glove thickness as 0.66 mm, approximately 26 mil.
How long is the glove?
SHOWA lists the glove length as 305 mm, approximately 12 inches.
Does this glove protect against all acids, solvents, oils, and caustics?
No glove should be described that broadly. Chemical resistance depends on the exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and exposure time.
