Nasah Industries introduces graphene nanotube enhanced chemical gloves
Penang, Malaysia – Nastah Industries has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in PPE: ESD chemical gloves enhanced with TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes. Designed to prevent static discharge while resisting chemical and physical hazards, these gloves set a new standard for safety and reliability across industries from chemical processing to electronics manufacturing.
“Integrating OCSiAl’s graphene nanotubes into our gloves allows us to achieve triple protection: anti-static performance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance —all while ensuring comfort and aesthetic appeal,” said Dr. Chan Wai Hoong, Head of R&D at Nastah Industries Sdn Bhd.
Graphene nanotubes, also known as single wall carbon nanotubes, are one-atom-thick graphene sheets shaped as tubes approximately 1.6 nm in diameter and over 5 µm long. This unique morphology enables them to form a 3D conductive and reinforcing network within a material.
“With an easy-to-use TUBALL™ water-based dispersion, which contains just 0.5% graphene nanotubes, the gloves achieve a surface resistivity of 10⁸ ohm/sq, even with a cotton lining, providing long-lasting ESD protection while maintaining resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and tears, thereby extending their lifespan and reliability,” said Eugene Tan, SEA Sales representative at OCSiAl.
As global demand grows for durable, high-performance, reusable PPE, Nastah’s innovation focuses on every detail that matters. These advanced gloves combine long-lasting safety with exceptional comfort and feature touchscreen compatibility—perfectly suited for today’s connected, tech-driven workplaces. The soft cotton flock lining enhances comfort and sweat absorption, ensuring comfort through even the longest shifts.
Certified under EN 16350, EN 374, and EN 388, Nastah’s graphene nanotube-enhanced gloves are set to launch by the end of this year. To learn more and request a demonstration, visit OCSiAl and Nastah at A+A in November in Düsseldorf, Germany, this fall.
