Glove Selection Guide - Analyze material vs chemical ratings. The information appearing on this chart is intended to serve solely as a general guide for glove material selection; and it does not act as a warranty for the performance of any particular glove in any particular work application. The information does not address permeation break-through times of any particular glove nor does it address specific work conditions. Therefore, when evaluating the suitability of any glove for any application, it is strongly recommended that its evaluation be based on actual working conditions. It is to be noted that chemical resistance in a glove is obtained by virtue of two main factors. The first factor is that the glove material needs to have the ability to resist the various types of chemicals; and for that material to be abundantly sufficient in the glove so as to provide reasonable protective thickness. The second factor is that the gloves must be impermeable. In other words, they must not have any ruptures or holes that will allow permeation. Gloves that protect only up to the wrist are generally not recommended for handling chemicals as they lack proper wrist and forearm protection. However, by virtue of their chemical resistant materials, they may still be sound for use in low level exposure environments with very diluted or light chemical splash action. It is up to the end-user to make their own determination as to the suitability of the product for their own intended purpose.

RATINGS DEFINED
Very Good
Material is very resistant and recommended for handling the
chemical. It is either not affected, or only negligibly affected
over a period of eight hours. Repeated use needs to be
gauged. (Full immersion or splash action)
Good
Material is reasonably resistant for handling the chemical.
Slight corrosion or discoloration may be experienced, but not
enough to alter performance significantly over several hours.
Repeated or prolonged use needs to be gauged. (Full immersion
or splash action)
Fair
Material is only moderately resistant to the chemical and needs
to be used with reservations. Continuous or prolonged used is
not recommended as it will experience loss of strength,
swelling and/or softening which may lead to permeation
and/or degradation. (Splash action only)
NR = Not Recommended
Material is not recommended for handling the chemical
as it will quickly experience permeation and/or degradation.
NA = Not Available
Information is insufficient to make a determination

performance for these chemicals.

SPECIAL NOTES
The information appearing on this chart is intended to

The information does not address permeation break-through
times of any particular glove nor does it address specific work
conditions. Therefore, when evaluating the suitability of any

It is to be noted that chemical resistance in a glove is obtained
by virtue of two main factors. The first factor is that the glove
material needs to have the ability to resist the various types of

In other words, they must not have any ruptures or holes

Gloves that protect only up to the wrist are generally not

and forearm protection. However, by virtue of their chemical
resistant materials, they may still be sound for use in low level
exposure environments with very diluted or light chemical splash
action. It is up to the end-user to make their own determination
