Reminder: Key for determining what glove material is best suited for a given application is knowing the chemical involved. Read the chemical’s Safety Data Sheet first, and if no definitive gloves are prescribed, then refer to the glove manufacturers’ chemical resistance guides and select the glove with the best rating for the anticipated exposure.
