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 Atlas 772 extends nitrile chemical protection to the elbow β a 26-inch, full-arm format for dip tanks, drains, and deep-sink work where a standard 13-inch cuff leaves a wet sleeve. Full-arm coverage is its own hazard control: what does not touch skin does not need decontaminating β and as with any chemical glove, verify your specific chemical against SHOWA's permeation chart before use.

Why the SHOWA Atlas 772 covers the whole arm
A great chemical glove still fails you if the chemical runs down your sleeve. When the task means reaching into a dip tank, a drain, or a deep sink, a 13-inch cuff stops well short β and that is where the Atlas 772 comes in, extending the same nitrile protection to a full 26 inches at the elbow. Full-arm coverage is not a luxury here; it is a hazard control, because what never touches skin never needs decontaminating. As chemical-resistant gloves go, this is the deep-immersion reach, and the best chemical-resistant gloves guide and nitrile chemical glove guide cover length and polymer choice.
Safety first: length is only part of protection β chemical resistance is chemical-specific, so always verify your chemical against SHOWA's permeation and breakthrough chart before relying on the 772 for a chemical splash hazard or immersion. Nitrile is not the polymer for aggressive polar solvents like ketones and esters, which call for butyl, and 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 Atlas 772 listing documents
From the published specs: nitrile chemical resistance; a 26-inch elbow-length cuff; full-arm coverage for dip tanks, drains, and deep-sink work; reusable construction. These are true elbow length chemical gloves and genuine nitrile chemical resistant gloves β deep-reach showa atlas gloves for immersion tasks.
How the SHOWA Atlas 772 compares to other chemical gloves
Choose by length and polymer: for general wet work, the 13-inch SHOWA 727; for dry-hand comfort, the flock-lined Solvex 37-175 or unflocked Solvex 37-155; for aggressive polar solvents, the butyl SHOWA 874; and for rough oils, acids, and caustics, the PVC SHOWA Atlas 660. For incidental splash and instrument work, 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
Start from your safety data sheet and the permeation chart, then pick the length to your reach. The 772 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 elbow-length 772 suits plating, metal finishing, drain and sump service, food and beverage vessel cleaning, and deep-tank chemical work β anywhere the arm goes in past the wrist and a short cuff would let chemical run down the sleeve β so compare polymers and lengths 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.
