Chemical Safety Glove Guide
Independently tested and approved chemical gloves protect against many of the chemicals used in work environments today.
Independently tested and approved chemical gloves protect against many of the chemicals used in work environments today. With the name of the chemical or the CAS (Chemical Abstract Service) number, you can use our charts and the Chemical Glove Selector tool to establish which of our chemical gloves will provide you with the best protection in terms of the time it takes for a chemical to permeate through and/or degrade a glove's material.

Disclaimer
The data and recommendations contained in this guide are based on the results of laboratory tests, and reflect the best judgement of Ansell in the light of data available at the time of preparation and in accordance with the current revision of ASTM F 739. They are intended to guide and inform qualified professionals engaged in assuring safety in the workplace. As the conditions of ultimate use are beyond our control, and because we cannot run permeation tests in all possible work environments and across all combinations of chemicals and solutions, these recommendations are advisory only. The suitability of a product for a specific application must be determined by testing by the purchaser. The data in this guide is subject to revision as additional knowledge and experience are gained. Test data herein reflects laboratory performance of partial gloves and not necessarily the complete unit. Anyone intending to use these recommendations should first verify that the glove selected is suitable for the intended use and meets all appropriate health standards. Upon written request, Ansell will provide a sample of material to aid you in making your own selection under your own individual safety requirements.
Neither this guide nor any other statement made herein by or on behalf of Ansell should be construed as a representation or warranty of merchantability or that any Ansell glove is fit for a particular purpose. Ansell assumes no responsibility for any reliance on this guide or for the suitability or adequacy of an end-user's selection of a product for a specific application.
