13-Inch Nitrile Chemical Gloves, Dozen
HandFortress 13-inch nitrile chemical gloves combine an unlined interior with an 11-mil palm and diamond-embossed grip. The green nitrile construction offers an option for chemical handling, cleaning and processing tasks when compatibility has been established for the specific exposure. Each order contains 12 pairs for facility and maintenance stocking.

Select for the Specific Chemical
Nitrile is not resistant to every chemical. Selection requires the chemical name, concentration, temperature, exposure duration and type of contact. Review the substance's safety data sheet and obtain glove-specific permeation and degradation information before use. A general material chart does not establish a safe wear time for this glove.
The manufacturer lists resistance to oils, animal fats and certain solvents, but its specification sheet supplies no chemical-specific breakthrough times. Do not assume suitability for acids, solvent mixtures or hazardous cleanup from the material name alone. Grip texture also cannot guarantee control of every wet or oily object.
Applicable Hand-Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires employers to select appropriate gloves based on performance, identified hazards, work conditions and duration of use. This is an employer requirement, not an OSHA certification of the glove.
The manufacturer states that component materials comply with food-contact regulations under 21 CFR Parts 170–199. Follow facility sanitation procedures. This statement does not establish medical-examination suitability or protection against bloodborne pathogens.
Fit and Purchasing Guidance
Choose a size that permits finger movement without excess loose material at the fingertips. Check grip with the tools used, and arrange cuff and sleeve overlap to reduce entry of liquids. For a different material, compare unlined latex canners gloves against the same exposure requirements. Order quantities here are dozens, so two order units provide 24 pairs. Review replacement needs by task rather than relying on appearance alone.
Inspection and Product Documentation
Inspect gloves before each use and replace torn, punctured or visibly deteriorated pairs. Follow workplace procedures for contaminated gloves; washing alone does not establish decontamination or restore chemical protection.
FAQ
- How many gloves are included? One dozen contains 12 pairs, or 24 individual gloves.
- Are these gloves lined or insulated? They are unlined. No thermal-insulation rating is supplied in the linked sheet.
- Can they be used for biohazard cleanup? Do not select them for that purpose without supporting barrier-performance documentation and an exposure assessment.
- Does the cuff protect the entire forearm? The 13-inch overall length extends beyond the wrist. Actual coverage depends on hand size, fit and sleeve overlap.
