Chemical Resistance Guide

NOTE: This chemical resistance chart is presented as a guide only. This does not consider permeability of glove, chemical combinations, temperature, length of time that glove is in contact with the chemical and thickness of glove. These factors will alter or affect the performance of glove. We recommend actual testing of the glove.

Please see key indicators at the bottom of the page.
