The Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-175 is a reusable flock-lined nitrile chemical-resistant glove — the comfort configuration of the Solvex line, adding a flocked cotton lining for full-shift wear where sweat inside the glove is the failure mode. It carries the same Solvex chemical performance as the unflocked 37-155; choose between them by whether lint or wearer comfort matters more in your process, and always verify your specific chemical against Ansell's permeation chart before use.

Why the Ansell AlphaTec Solvex 37-175 is the comfort choice
Chemical gloves fail two ways: the polymer breaks through, or the worker takes them off because they are miserable. The Solvex 37-175 attacks the second problem — the flocked cotton lining wicks sweat and eases don-and-doff over a full shift, on the same trusted Solvex nitrile that handles oils, greases, and many solvents. It is the version you reach for when comfort keeps the glove on the hand. As chemical-resistant gloves go, this is the full-shift comfort pick, and the best chemical-resistant gloves guide and nitrile chemical glove guide cover how to match a polymer to your process.
Safety first: chemical resistance is chemical-specific — a nitrile glove that is 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 this glove 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 37-175 listing documents
From the published specs: a reusable nitrile chemical-resistant shell; a flocked cotton lining for comfort and sweat management; the same Solvex chemical performance as the unflocked 37-155; gauntlet-style coverage. These are true nitrile chemical resistant gloves and genuine flock lined chemical gloves — reusable solvex chemical gloves for full-shift wear.
How the 37-175 compares to other chemical gloves
Match the polymer to the chemistry: the unflocked Solvex 37-155 is the lint-averse twin with the same performance, while aggressive polar solvents need the butyl SHOWA 874, and rough oils, acids, and caustics suit the PVC SHOWA Atlas 660. Other options include the SHOWA 727 nitrile, the elbow-length SHOWA Atlas 772, and the Microflex 93-260 nitrile-neoprene. The nitrile-vs-latex guide explains polymer trade-offs.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
A chemical glove protects only against compatible chemicals, so start from your safety data sheet and the manufacturer's permeation chart. For incidental splash and sample handling, a disposable like the TouchNTuff 92-600 may suffice; for sharp edges alongside chemicals, note that this glove is not cut-rated — see the cut-resistant gloves guide, the cut-resistant collection, and browse the hand protection collection for combined needs. The nitrile gloves collection covers coated and disposable options too.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The flock-lined Solvex suits parts washing, degreasing, chemical mixing, and lab and plant work with long glove-on time — compare the Liberty 2570SP neoprene-latex for a different polymer, weigh polymers with the nitrile-vs-vinyl guide, and always confirm compatibility on the chemical glove guide.

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 37-175?
A reusable flock-lined nitrile chemical-resistant glove - the comfort configuration of Ansell's Solvex line. The flocked cotton lining suits full-shift wear where sweat inside the glove is the failure mode, while the nitrile shell handles the chemical exposure.
How does it differ from the unflocked 37-155?
The 37-175 adds a flocked cotton lining for comfort and sweat management; the 37-155 is unflocked. Both share the same Solvex nitrile chemical performance, so choose by whether wearer comfort or avoiding lint matters more in your process.
What is the flocked lining for?
The flocked cotton lining absorbs sweat and makes the glove easier to don and doff during long wear, which is why the 37-175 is the pick for full-shift chemical handling where an unlined glove gets clammy.
What chemicals does nitrile handle?
Nitrile resists many oils, greases, solvents, and some acids and bases, which is why the Solvex line is a broad workhorse. It is not the right polymer for aggressive polar solvents like ketones and esters - those call for butyl. Always confirm your chemical on the permeation chart.
How do I know it protects against my chemical?
Check your specific chemical against Ansell's permeation and breakthrough-time chart for the Solvex 37-175. Chemical resistance is chemical-specific; a glove that is excellent for one substance may break through quickly with another.
Is it a cut- or heat-resistant glove?
No - the Solvex 37-175 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 instead.
Is it reusable?
Yes - the Solvex 37-175 is a reusable gauntlet-style glove, unlike disposable chemical gloves. Inspect it before each use and retire it when it shows cracks, swelling, discoloration, or degradation from chemical contact.
What length and sizes does it come in?
Size and length options for this listing are shown on the linked Amazon product page. A proper fit matters for both dexterity and keeping chemicals from entering at the cuff, so size carefully.
When should I choose a disposable splash glove instead?
For incidental contact and sample handling, a disposable splash glove like the TouchNTuff 92-600 may be enough. Choose the reusable Solvex 37-175 for immersion and sustained contact where a heavier, 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.
Where can I compare other chemical gloves?
See our chemical-resistant gloves collection and guides for nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and PVC options, and always match the polymer to your chemical using the manufacturer's permeation data.
