Product Details
So you're cleaning the nastiest rifle ever right before having babyback ribs for dinner. What gloves do you wear? These gloves!
Keep the toxic mess off your skin with these Dutch army surplus black rubber gloves. Injection molded from Butyl rubber. What's Butyl rubber? Glad you asked:
Butyl rubber, sometimes just called "butyl", is a synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene. The abbreviation IIR stands for isobutylene isoprene rubber. Polyisobutylene, also known as "PIB" or polyisobutene, (C4H8)n, is the homopolymer of isobutylene, or 2-methyl-1-propene, on which butyl rubber is based. Butyl rubber is produced by polymerization of about 98% of isobutylene with about 2% of isoprene. Structurally, polyisobutylene resembles polypropylene, but has two methyl groups substituted on every other carbon atom, rather than one. Polyisobutylene is a colorless to light yellow viscoelastic material. It is generally odorless and tasteless, though it may exhibit a slight characteristic odor.
If that doesn't convince you, these gloves have an NSN number so you can feel tacti-cool while cleaning up.
