Chemical-Resistant Gloves for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
PharmShield chemical-resistant gloves for pharmaceutical manufacturing are powder-free, latex-free nitrile gloves tested to EN 374 for splash and incidental contact with the solvents, reagents and cleaning chemistries of GMP production — formulation, cleaning validation, QC and API handling. They are tested to EN 374, not marketed as immersion gloves: protection is matched to a published breakthrough time for a defined chemical, so you specify correctly rather than over-trusting a single rating. Sterile grades are available for chemical handling in classified areas. If you're matching glove chemical protection to a pharmaceutical process, this is the starting point.
Chemical-Resistant · Pharmaceutical ManufacturingWhy pharmaceutical manufacturing needs chemical-resistant gloves
Chemical protection in pharma is a permeation problem, not just a barrier one — a glove can look intact while a solvent passes through the film to the skin. Specifying it honestly means thinking in breakthrough times. Chemical-resistant nitrile is engineered against four concerns.
EN 374 tested, honestly scoped
PharmShield nitrile is tested to EN ISO 374 for protection against a defined panel of chemicals. We describe it as tested — not blanket certified — and match protection to the specific chemistry and contact you actually have.
Splash & incidental contact, not immersion
These gloves protect against splashes and incidental contact with pharmaceutical solvents and cleaning agents. They are not immersion gloves; for prolonged submersion you match the chemical to a breakthrough time or step up to a heavier specialist glove.
Breakthrough-time matched
Permeation depends on the chemical and the film. We help match your reagents and cleaning chemistries to the relevant breakthrough data, so the glove is specified for the task rather than assumed safe for everything.
Cleanroom-compatible chemical protection
Chemical handling in classified areas still demands cleanliness. Powder-free, low-particulate nitrile is available in sterile grades, so chemical protection and contamination control coexist in GMP cleanrooms.

We describe them as tested to EN ISO 374 for protection against a defined panel of chemicals, rather than blanket-certified. The honest way to specify chemical gloves is by breakthrough time for the specific chemistry you handle — we help match your solvents and cleaning agents to the relevant data.
No. They are intended for splash and incidental contact with pharmaceutical solvents and cleaning chemistries, not prolonged immersion. For submersion tasks, the chemical must be matched to a sufficient breakthrough time, or a heavier specialist immersion glove specified.
Yes. Powder-free, low-particulate nitrile is available in ETO and gamma sterile grades validated to SAL 10⁻⁶, so chemical splash protection and cleanroom contamination control can be met together in classified GMP areas.
