Chemical Resistance Chart

This Chemical Resistance Chart is intended to provide general information about the reactions of different glove materials to the chemicals listed. This information is based upon published research data. Hands-On Gloves have not been individually tested against these chemicals. Variability in glove thickness, chemical concentration, temperature and length of exposure to chemicals will affect the performance.

 

This information should be used for reference purpose only. User must proceed with caution when handling these chemicals.
