MAPA Solo Green 977 Industrial Nitrile Glove Features
Specified for pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetics production, and chemical laboratory environments requiring EN 374 chemical resistance documentation, the MAPA Solo Green 977 is an industrial grade green 4 mil chemical resistant gloves with pebbled fingertip texture, chlorinated interior, and a rolled beaded cuff. EN 374 Type B, Category 3 certification documents chemical resistance against a broad range of industrial chemicals. FDA 21 CFR compliant. Not recommended for persons sensitized to dithiocarbamates — consult MAPA chemical resistance chart at mapa-pro.us for substance-specific breakthrough time data.
Industrial grade designation distinguishes Solo Green 977 from exam grade medical nitrile: its primary specification is EN 374 chemical resistance for chemical work environments. Green color supports color-coded glove assignment systems in multi-glove facilities. Pebbled fingertips deliver grip on vials, pipettes, and chemical handling equipment. Chlorinated interior supports smooth donning in continuous-use production and laboratory settings. Available in XS through XL at 100 gloves per box through LabSupplies.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the MAPA Solo Green 977 an industrial grade glove rather than an exam grade glove?
Industrial grade and exam grade reflect different optimization targets. Exam grade nitrile is optimized for medical barrier performance and FDA non-sterile medical use approval. Industrial grade nitrile like Solo Green 977 is optimized for chemical resistance — EN 374 Type B testing verifies permeation resistance across a defined chemical panel, and Category 3 classification indicates protection against irreversible or lethal chemical risks. Solo Green 977 also carries FDA 21 CFR approval, but EN 374 chemical protection is its primary specification.
What chemicals is the MAPA Solo Green 977 tested against?
MAPA tests Solo Green 977 against a broad range of chemicals and publishes a chemical resistance chart at mapa-pro.us. EN 374 Type B testing documents breakthrough time for each tested substance across four rating levels from high chemical exposure and immersion use through splash protection only. Consult the chart for substances specific to your work environment before specifying Solo Green 977, as resistance varies by chemical class and exposure duration.
What does the dithiocarbamate sensitivity caution on the Solo Green 977 mean?
Dithiocarbamates are chemical accelerators used in nitrile rubber vulcanization. Residual compounds in the finished glove can cause Type IV contact allergy — delayed-onset dermatitis — in individuals sensitized to this chemical class through prior exposure. Facilities employing sensitized personnel should select an accelerator-free nitrile glove. This is the same class of concern addressed by accelerator-free construction in clinical gloves such as the Ansell LifeStar EC LSE-104.
What industries are Solo Green 977 gloves specified for?
MAPA specifies Solo Green 977 for pharmaceutical manufacturing and compounding, cosmetics production, chemical laboratory work, and general chemical industry applications. EN 374 documentation gives procurement managers the evidence needed to specify the glove against their hazard assessment. Green color supports color-coding systems designating chemical-handling roles in multi-glove facilities.
