TouchNTuff® 92-600 Nitrile Glove Features
Engineered for chemical laboratory work, electronics assembly, intricate parts handling, food processing, and industrial maintenance where smooth surface contact and chemical splash protection are required, the Ansell TouchNTuff 92-600 is a smooth-surfaced nitrile gloves with TNT™ Chemical Splash Resistance Technology. Teal green 4.9 mil nitrile with no texture, no fillers, no silicones, and no plasticizers in the material formulation delivers clean barrier protection without contaminating painted, coated, or electronically sensitive surfaces. Static-dissipative construction reduces electrostatic charge buildup during electronics assembly and semiconductor handling. Double chlorinated interior provides a smooth, comfortable fit during extended wear.
Silicone-free construction prevents the fisheye surface defects that silicone transfer from gloves causes in paint and coating applications, and avoids the connector and solder joint contamination that silicone residue creates in electronics manufacturing. FDA food contact compliance covers food processing and food service use alongside industrial and laboratory applications. Dermatest® certified and EN388 level 1 abrasion rated, with 100 gloves per dispenser box in Small through X-Large. Available at LabSupplies.com with authorized dealer pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a smooth-surfaced nitrile glove instead of a textured one?
Smooth surfaces suit tasks where texture interferes with work. In electronics assembly, fingertip texture snags delicate components and generates static on circuit boards. In paint and coating work, texture peaks can mark soft coatings. For laboratory sample transfer and liquid handling, smooth surfaces reduce contamination pickup compared to textured finishes that trap particulate in their grip geometry.
What is TNT Chemical Splash Resistance Technology?
TNT is an Ansell proprietary nitrile formulation for chemical splash protection at the material level, not a surface coating. Standard nitrile provides a general barrier; TNT enhances resistance against a defined range of hazardous chemicals in laboratory, industrial, and chemical handling work. Silicone-free, filler-free, and plasticizer-free composition produces consistent barrier performance without weak zones from filler distribution or surface treatment degradation.
What does static-dissipative mean and when does it matter?
A static-dissipative glove allows accumulated electrostatic charge to slowly dissipate rather than discharging suddenly as an ESD event. In electronics manufacturing, circuit board assembly, and semiconductor handling, sudden ESD can permanently damage components, erase programmable memory, or corrupt stored data without any visible sign. Static-dissipative nitrile provides a controlled discharge path — a functional requirement for ESD-sensitive equipment work.
Why is silicone-free specification important for the TouchNTuff 92-600?
Silicone transfer from gloves to paint or coating films causes fisheye defects — craters where the coating cannot adhere — requiring rework or refinishing. In electronics manufacturing, silicone residue affects solder joint quality and contact resistance. Silicone-free construction eliminates the transfer source. Combined with no-fillers, no-plasticizers formulation, the 92-600 delivers clean surface handling without contaminating the work piece.
