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

Please refer to page 6 of this chart for butyl and viton material

performance for these chemicals.

SPECIAL NOTES

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.
