Sizing Information
These chemical-resistant gloves are available in two sizes, which should be suitable for most adult users. To discover which size is the best choice for you, start by measuring the length of your hand and the circumference of your palm at the knuckle (as seen below). Once you have these measurements, compare them to the table below to determine your glove size.
| Size | Palm Circumference | Hand Length |
| Size 9 | 229mm | 192mm |
| Size 10 | 254mm | 204mm |

How Do the Ansell AlphaTec 15-554 Gloves Protect Your Hands?
These top-quality gauntlet-style gloves have been designed for maximum comfort and optimal protection when working with a range of strong organic solvents, as well as aromatic and chlorinated solvents. Some of the ways these coated gloves can protect your hands include:
- Excellent levels of chemical resistant allow secure handling of a wide variety of chemicals and strong organic solvents. The design also allows the gloves to have little to no reaction when in contact with aromatic and chlorinated solvents.
- Provides abrasion resistance for secure handling of coarse and abrasive materials, helping to prevent grazes and similar injuries.
- Offers protection against direct contact with bacteria and fungi to minimise the spread of harmful micro-organisms.
- Anatomically designed to suit your hand's shape, support natural movement, and significantly reduce the risk of hand fatigue.
The gloves have been tested against various European Standards to ensure high performance levels. The results are as follows:
EN388: Mechanical Resistance
| Test | Result |
| Abrasion | Level 3 |
| Cut | Level 1 |
| Tear | Level 2 |
| Puncture | Level 1 |
| ISO Blade Cut | Level A |
Read our guide to EN 388 for more information.
EN374-1: Chemical Resistance
The below results are from testing the palm of the glove for chemical resistant. The below breakthrough time refers to the breakthrough time of the palm only.
| Chemical | Breakthrough Time |
| Acetone | 101 minutes |
| Acetonitrile | 330 minutes |
| Dichloromethane | > 480 minutes |
| Ethyl acetate | > 480 minutes |
| n-Heptane | > 480 minutes |
Please Note: PVA is water soluble, and so contact with water or use in humid environments will greatly decrease the chemical protection the gloves provide.
EN374-5: Resistance to Micro-organisms
These gloves comply with the European Standards for protection against bacteria and fungi.
