looks like everyone is just spamming "thanks good info" :sad:
There is a specific type of glove for every use. check this out for more info about what gloves to wear for chemical handling.
Gloving Material Advantages and Disadvantages
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC)
(This is the standard vinyl glove)
Good for acids, bases, oils, fats, peroxides, and amines
Good resistance to abrasions
Poor for most organic solvents.
Plasticisers in glove may contaminate solvents
Avoid: intentional contact with ketones and aromatic solvents
Inexpensive
The best choice for protection against soiling, low hazard chemicals, or for food hygiene use
NITRILE
Good for solvents, oils, greases, hydrocarbons and some acids and bases
Good alternative to latex for biochemical work
Clear indication of tears and breaks
Avoid: intentional contact with ketones, oxidizing acids and organic compounds containing nitrogen
The best choice for splash protection against chemicals
LATEX (Natural Rubber)
Good for biohazard protection (infection risks)
Good for inorganic chemicals
Poor for organic solvents
Avoid: Oils, grease and hydrocarbon derivatives
Hard to detect puncture holes
Can cause or trigger latex allergies.
Requires written risk assessment justifying use
BUTYL RUBBER
Good for ketones and esters
Poor for gasoline and aliphatic, aromatic, and halogenated hydrocarbons
Expensive
Only available as re-useable
Poor touch sensitivity
NEOPRENE
Good for acids, bases, alcohols, fuels, peroxides, hydrocarbons, and phenols
Poor for halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons
VITON
Good for chlorinated and aromatic solvents
Low surface tension repels most liquids
Good resistance to cuts and abrasions
Poor for ketones
Expensive
Only available as re-useable
Poor touch sensitivity
VINYL - Polyvinyl Alchohol (PVA)
Good for aromatic and chlorinated solvents
Poor for water-based solutions (dissolves in water)
Avoid: Contact with water or water-based solutions, water solubles
Only available as re-useable
Poor touch sensitivity
