  • AnsellGUARDIAN™ Chemical: Simplifying and strengthening chemical protection

Bunzl Safety & Lifting is proud to partner with Ansell to give our customers access to the AnsellGUARDIAN™ Chemical platform — a powerful tool that turns complex hazard data into clear, actionable insight.

In complex industrial environments, selecting the right personal protective equipment (PPE) for chemical hazards is challenging. AnsellGUARDIAN™ Chemical addresses that by combining a digital product selector, an expansive permeation and degradation database, and expert assessment services.

AnsellGUARDIAN™ Chemical works by correlating your specific chemical exposure and working conditions with empirical test data on Ansell’s gloves and suits. The system draws on a live database of permeation and degradation values, enabling you to compare candidate materials. It also offers a no-cost assessment and tailored recommendations to support risk assessments in your facility. 


How it works

Exposure input: The user specifies which chemicals, concentrations, and exposure scenarios are involved.

Database matching: The tool cross-references Ansell’s internal permeation/degradation metrics for each candidate PPE material.

Ranking & recommendation: Receive suggestions on PPE combinations that balance chemical resistance, physical durability, and ergonomics.

Expert validation: You may opt to order additional testing or consult Ansell’s technical team to confirm suitability. 

Why it benefits you

  • Streamlines PPE selection and reduces trial-and-error. 

  • Access transparent permeation and degradation charts for thousands of chemicals. 

  • Mitigate risk with rigorous chemical hazard assessments and compliance. 

  • Enjoy scalable coverage, from single chemicals to complex mixtures, with continual updates.

With AnsellGUARDIAN Chemical™, you also gain access to a wide range of protection products, each of which comes complete with chemical permeation test data and other essential information to enhance your decision-making. Some of our most popular solutions include:


Alphatec™ 53-002

  • Engineered as a hybrid glove combining rubber polymer and plastic laminate layers to improve permeation resistance without sacrificing dexterity. 

  • Meets EN ISO 374:2016 standards, achieving Class 2 protection for 17/18 candidate chemicals, and 16/17 at Class 6 (> 480 min breakthrough) in many cases. 

  • Offers enhanced comfort and form-fitting behavior (tactility) even in extended use. 

 

Alphatec™ 53-003

  • Provides “next generation” multi-hazard protection: chemical resistance plus secondary protections (mechanical, thermal) in a single glove. 

  • Utilizes similar hybrid laminate/rubber approaches to push chemical barrier performance while maintaining usability. 

  • Suitable for environments with overlapping hazards (e.g. chemical + abrasion). 

 

Alphatec™ 58-201

  • Nitrile-coated chemical glove that features Ansell Grip™ Technology, improving grip under wet or oily conditions.

  • Designed with an acrylic liner to insulate the hand, delivering thermal comfort in both cold and warmer environments. 

  • Balanced for chemical protection and handling performance, making it suitable for general-purpose chemical tasks.
