The Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-155 is the industrial reference in reusable nitrile chemical gloves — the unflocked version for cleanroom-adjacent and wet-process work where flock lint is a contaminant. Solvex is the line safety programs specify by number: unsupported nitrile with the permeation documentation to back chemical-specific selection against Ansell's guide, sharing the same chemical performance as the flocked 37-175 — and always verify your specific chemical against Ansell's permeation chart before use.

Why the Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-155 is the clean-process reference
In cleanroom-adjacent and precision work, a flock lining is not comfort — it is contamination waiting to shed. The Solvex 37-155 is the unflocked answer: the same trusted Solvex nitrile that safety programs specify by number, without the cotton lining, so it decontaminates fast and leaves no lint in the process. It is unsupported nitrile with the published permeation data to back selection against a specific chemical. As chemical-resistant gloves go, this is the documented reference, 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 — a nitrile glove excellent against one substance can break through quickly with another, so always verify your chemical against Ansell's permeation and breakthrough chart before relying on the 37-155 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 Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-155 listing documents
From the published specs: a reusable unsupported nitrile shell; an unflocked (unlined) build for cleanroom-adjacent and wet-process work; the same Solvex chemical performance as the flocked 37-175; published permeation documentation. These are true unflocked nitrile chemical gloves and genuine solvex chemical gloves — documented reusable nitrile chemical gloves for clean processes.
How the Solvex 37-155 compares to other chemical gloves
Match the configuration to the process: the flocked Solvex 37-175 is the comfort twin with the same performance; the unlined SHOWA 727 and elbow-length SHOWA Atlas 772 are other reusable nitriles; aggressive polar solvents need the butyl SHOWA 874, and rough oils and caustics suit 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
Start from your safety data sheet and the permeation chart. The 37-155 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 unflocked 37-155 suits pharmaceutical, electronics, laboratory, precision cleaning, and wet-process chemical work — anywhere flock lint would contaminate the product or the glove needs frequent rinse-down between tasks — so compare configurations with the chemical glove guide and confirm compatibility on Ansell's permeation chart.

Reading a cut level, and why the letter matters
Industrial hand protection is rated to ANSI/ISEA 105, which scores cut resistance A1 to A9 by the gram load required to cut through at a fixed distance — and the scale is not linear. A9 withstands roughly nine times the load of A1, and the jump from A4 to A5 is far larger than A1 to A2. The European equivalent, EN 388, uses letters A–F on a different test, so an EN rating does not map cleanly onto an ANSI level.
ANSI/ISEA 105 also scores abrasion, puncture and, where relevant, impact — which is a separate rating from cut and is the one that matters for back-of-hand protection. OSHA 1910.138 requires hand protection selected for the specific hazard, which is why a cut level alone is not a specification.
⚠ Cut resistance is not cut proof, and no glove rating covers a moving blade drawn under load. Ratings also degrade with wear, contamination and laundering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-155?
The industrial reference in reusable nitrile chemical gloves - the unflocked version of the Solvex line for cleanroom-adjacent and wet-process work where flock lint would be a contaminant. It is unsupported nitrile with the permeation documentation to back chemical-specific selection.
How does it differ from the flocked 37-175?
The 37-155 is unflocked, so there is no cotton lining to shed lint; the 37-175 adds a flocked cotton lining for comfort and sweat management. Both share the same Solvex nitrile chemical performance, so choose by whether lint or wearer comfort matters more.
Why choose unflocked?
Unflocked avoids lint contamination in cleanroom-adjacent, wet, and precision processes, and it decontaminates faster because there is no lining to trap chemical. Choose it where cleanliness and rinse-down matter more than dry-hand comfort.
Why do safety programs specify Solvex by number?
Solvex is a widely referenced line with published permeation and breakthrough data, so safety programs can select it by model number against a specific chemical. That documentation is why it is a common standard in chemical-glove selection.
What chemicals does nitrile handle?
Nitrile resists many oils, greases, solvents, and some acids and bases. It is not the polymer for aggressive polar solvents like ketones and esters, which need butyl. Confirm your chemical on Ansell's permeation chart before relying on it.
How do I know it protects against my chemical?
Check your specific chemical against Ansell's permeation and breakthrough-time data for the 37-155. Chemical resistance is chemical-specific; a glove excellent for one substance can break through quickly with another.
Is it cut- or heat-resistant?
No - the 37-155 is a chemical-resistant glove. It is not rated for cut or heat protection unless the listing states it; for those hazards use a cut-resistant or heat/welding glove.
Is it reusable?
Yes - the 37-155 is a reusable, unsupported nitrile gauntlet. Inspect it before each use and retire it when the nitrile swells, cracks, hardens, or discolors from chemical contact.
What sizes and lengths does it come in?
Size and length options for this listing are shown on the linked Amazon product page. A proper fit matters for dexterity and for keeping chemicals from entering at the cuff, so size carefully.
When should I choose a disposable instead?
For incidental contact and sample handling, a disposable like the TouchNTuff 92-600 or Microflex 93-260 may be enough. Choose the reusable 37-155 for wet-process and sustained contact where a reusable glove is warranted.
How do I care for it?
Rinse off chemical residue per the safety data sheet, dry inside and out, and store away from heat and sunlight. Retire the glove at the first sign of degradation - a compromised chemical glove no longer protects.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
