The MCR Safety CP7XL is the thinner-gauge butyl chemical glove — 7 mil with a smooth finish and rolled gauntlet cuff, trading the heavier build of gloves like the SHOWA 874 for dexterity in the same polar-solvent chemistries. Butyl is the polymer for ketones, esters, and aggressive polar solvents that defeat nitrile, and the CP7XL is the pick when tactility matters — and as with any chemical glove, verify your specific chemical against the manufacturer's permeation chart before use.

Why the MCR Safety CP7XL is the dexterous butyl option
Butyl is the answer when nitrile fails — ketones, esters, and aggressive polar solvents cut through common polymers fast, and butyl is the material built to resist them. But heavy butyl gloves are stiff and clumsy for detailed work. The CP7XL splits that difference: a thin 7-mil butyl with a smooth finish and rolled gauntlet cuff, keeping the polar-solvent protection while restoring the feel a heavy glove gives up. It is the butyl pick for tasks where you need to handle, not just hold. As chemical-resistant gloves go, this is the dexterous butyl, and the best chemical-resistant gloves guide and nitrile chemical glove guide explain where butyl beats nitrile.
Safety first: butyl is specialized, not universal — it excels against ketones, esters, and polar solvents but is not right for every chemical, so always verify your chemical against the manufacturer's permeation chart before relying on the CP7XL for a chemical splash hazard or immersion. At 7 mil it is thinner than heavy butyl, so breakthrough can come sooner and durability is lower - inspect and replace it more often. It is a chemical glove, not a cut- or heat-rated glove. Match the glove to your measured hazard and the glove material guide.
What the MCR Safety CP7XL listing documents
From the published specs: a 7-mil butyl rubber construction; a smooth finish; a rolled gauntlet cuff; positioning as the thinner, more dexterous butyl option for polar-solvent chemistries. These are true butyl chemical resistant gloves and genuine thin butyl gloves — specialist chemical resistant gloves for the toughest polar chemistries with feel.
How the CP7XL compares to other chemical gloves
Match the polymer to the chemistry: for heavier butyl toughness, the SHOWA 874; for oils, greases, and many solvents in nitrile, the Solvex 37-155 and Solvex 37-175; for oils, acids, and caustics in PVC, the SHOWA Atlas 660. Other options include the unlined nitrile SHOWA 727, elbow-length SHOWA Atlas 772, disposable TouchNTuff 92-600, dexterous disposable Microflex 93-260, and neoprene-latex Liberty 2570SP. The nitrile-vs-vinyl guide covers material selection.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
Reserve butyl for the chemistries that justify it, and use cheaper polymers elsewhere — the nitrile gloves collection and nitrile gloves guide cover everyday chemical work, and this glove is not cut-rated, so for sharp edges see the cut-resistant gloves guide. The full hand protection collection spans chemical, cut, and general options.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The thin butyl CP7XL suits laboratories, pharmaceutical and chemical processing, and any task with ketones, esters, or polar solvents where feel matters — compare polymers with the chemical glove guide and confirm compatibility on the 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 MCR Safety CP7XL?
The thinner-gauge butyl chemical glove - 7 mil with a smooth finish and rolled gauntlet cuff. It trades the heavier build of gloves like the SHOWA 874 for dexterity in the same polar-solvent chemistries, so it is the butyl pick when tactility matters.
Why butyl instead of nitrile?
Butyl resists ketones, esters, and aggressive polar solvents that break through nitrile quickly. You choose it specifically for those chemistries; nitrile remains more economical for oils, greases, and many other solvents.
What does 7-mil thin mean for it?
At 7 mil it is thinner than heavy butyl gloves, which improves feel and dexterity for detailed handling. The trade-off is durability and thickness - a thin glove wears faster and offers less physical toughness than a heavy-gauge butyl.
How do I know it protects against my chemical?
Check your specific chemical against the manufacturer's permeation and breakthrough-time data for the CP7XL. Chemical resistance is chemical-specific, and a thinner glove can have shorter breakthrough times, so verify before relying on it.
What is the rolled gauntlet cuff for?
The rolled cuff adds strength at the opening and helps prevent tearing when donning and doffing, while the gauntlet length covers the wrist and lower forearm against splash.
Is it cut- or heat-resistant?
No - the CP7XL 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.
How does it compare to the SHOWA 874?
The SHOWA 874 is a heavier butyl glove for durability and rough handling; the CP7XL is thinner for dexterity in the same polar-solvent chemistries. Choose the 874 for toughness and the CP7XL for feel.
Is it reusable?
Yes - the CP7XL is a reusable glove. Inspect it before each use and retire it at the first sign of swelling, softening, cracking, or discoloration, which indicate chemical degradation - and sooner for a thin glove.
What chemicals is butyl good for?
Ketones, esters, and aggressive polar solvents are the classic butyl use cases, and butyl also offers strong resistance to many gases. Always confirm your specific chemical on the permeation chart rather than assuming.
What sizes and lengths does it come in?
Size and pack options for this listing are shown on the linked Amazon product page. Fit matters for dexterity and for keeping chemicals from entering at the cuff, so size carefully.
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.
