Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published SHOWA specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The SHOWA 727 is the unlined version of SHOWA's 15-mil unsupported nitrile chemical-glove family, with a 13-inch cuff. Unlined means no flock lint in the process and faster decontamination between uses, which is why it is chosen over the flocked 730 for wet cycles, wash-down duty, and processes where the glove itself gets rinsed β and as with any chemical glove, verify your specific chemical against SHOWA's permeation chart before use.

Why the SHOWA 727 suits wet, rinse-heavy work
A flocked lining is a comfort feature until the process gets wet β then it traps chemical and moisture and sheds lint. The SHOWA 727 goes the other way: unlined 15-mil nitrile with a 13-inch cuff, built to be rinsed and decontaminated fast, with no cotton to hold contamination. It is the pick for wash-down, sanitation, and wet-cycle chemical work. As chemical-resistant gloves go, this is the rinse-friendly nitrile, and the best chemical-resistant gloves guide and nitrile chemical glove guide cover lined-versus-unlined and polymer choice.
Safety first: chemical resistance is chemical-specific β a nitrile glove excellent against one substance can break through quickly with another, so always verify your chemical against SHOWA's permeation and breakthrough chart before relying on the 727 for a chemical splash hazard or immersion. Nitrile is not the polymer for aggressive polar solvents like ketones and esters, which call for butyl. This is a chemical glove, not a cut- or heat-rated glove. Match the glove to your measured hazard and the nitrile gloves complete guide.
What the SHOWA 727 listing documents
From the published specs: unlined 15-mil unsupported nitrile; a 13-inch cuff; no flock lining for faster decontamination; positioned for wet cycles and wash-down over the flocked 730; reusable. These are true unlined nitrile chemical gloves and genuine 15 mil nitrile gloves β rinse-friendly showa nitrile gloves for wet-process work.
How the SHOWA 727 compares to other chemical gloves
Choose by lining, length, and polymer: for dry-hand comfort, the flock-lined Solvex 37-175 or unflocked Solvex 37-155; for deep tanks, the elbow-length SHOWA Atlas 772; for aggressive polar solvents, the butyl SHOWA 874; and for rough oils, acids, and caustics, the PVC SHOWA Atlas 660. For incidental splash, the disposable TouchNTuff 92-600 and Microflex 93-260 fit. The nitrile-vs-latex guide and nitrile-vs-vinyl guide cover polymer selection.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
A chemical glove protects only against compatible chemicals, so start from your safety data sheet and the permeation chart. The 727 is not cut-rated, so for sharp edges see the cut-resistant gloves guide and the cut-resistant collection; the nitrile gloves collection covers coated and disposable nitrile, and the full hand protection collection spans every category, including the neoprene-latex Liberty 2570SP for mixed acid/base work.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The unlined 727 suits food processing, sanitation, plating, janitorial, and wet chemical handling β anywhere the glove gets rinsed between tasks and a flock lining would only trap contamination and slow decontamination β so compare polymers with the chemical glove guide and confirm compatibility on SHOWA's permeation chart. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account β volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
