Glove Chemical Resistance GuideThe following chart is a general guide for glove selection in relation to the hazardous chemicals sold by The Science Company®. The information is partly derived from the various manufacturers of the gloves we sell and is believed to be correct; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Protective gloves should be inspected before each use to ensure that they are not torn, punctured or made ineffective in any way. Any gloves with impaired protective ability should be discarded and replaced. |
