Work Gloves - Glove Chemical Chart

Texas America Safety Company Work Gloves Chemical Resistance Chart

The following is a general guide to chemical resistance of our glove products. Note that this guide in no way warrants the performance of any glove, but is intended solely to provide typical resistance characteristics of various glove materials to given chemical agents. In every case, resistance can be affected by factors such as ambient or solution temperature, chemical concentration, length of time in direct contact with chemicals, material thickness of gloves and other factors. Preliminary testing of glove suitability should always precede use in hazardous applications. LATEX: Rubber-Ideal resistance against abrasions, tearing or cutting: good gripping characteristics and temperature resistance. Withstands water based solutions; translucent styles suited to general household cleaning chores. Heavier styles resist paint strippers and strong cleaning agents, while providing grip and tactile advantages. Coated styles overlaid on fabric better withstand contact with sharp-edged material such as knife blades, glass shards, splintered wood, brick and rock. Not recommended where open flame is present and not effective against oil, grease or petroleum products or high concentration derivatives of these products. NEOPRENE: Ideal protection against strong alkalis, acids and a wide range of other chemicals. Excellent temperature resistance. Provides superior tactile strength and flexibility similar to latex. Impermeable to moisture, gasses and vapors, and resists commercial herbicides and pesticides, degreasing solutions and oils. Coated neoprene gloves are used in plating, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and metal working, galvanizing and industrial material handling applications. NITRILE: Ideal resistance to many hazardous chemicals and chemical solvents. This synthetic also resists cutting and punctures and provides flexibility. Performs well in a wide range of temperatures against caustics, oils, kerosene, turpentine, greases, herbicides, pesticides, acids, naphtha and alcohol. Used widely in farm and landscape applications as well as commercial cleaning, painting and maintenance applications. PVC: Ideal for short-term protection against many oils, caustics, fats, acids and petro-hydrocarbons. Provide economical protection against alcohols and glycol ethers. Limited temperature range from 25 F to 150 F. Not recommended for use with ketones, non-petro hydrocarbons and compounds of nitric, halogenic and hetrocyclic types Key To Degradation Ratings: E - Excellent: Fluid has very little degrading effect. G - Good: Fluid has minor degrading effect. F - Fair: Fluid has moderate degrading effect. P - Poor: Fluid has pronounced degrading effect. Nr - Not Recommended: for work with this chemical.         Acetaldehyde P E Nr E     Acetic Acid, Glacial G E F E     Acetone Nr G Nr E     Acrylonitrile F G F G     Ammonium Fluoride, 40% E E E E     Ammonium Hydroxide, Conc E E E E     Amyl Acetate E Nr P P     Amyl Alcohol E E Nr E     Aniline Nr G F G     Animal Fats E E G P     Aqua Regia F G G G     Banana Oil E Nr P P     Benzaldehyde Nr Nr Nr F     Benzene P Nr Nr Nr     Benzol P Nr Nr Nr     Butyl Acetate F Nr Nr P     Butylene E E F F     Carbon Disulfide G Nr Nr Nr     Carbon Tetrachloride G Nr F Nr     Castor Oil E E E E     Cello Solve G E P E     Cellosolve Acetate F G Nr G     Chlorobenzene Nr Nr Nr Nr     Chloroform Nr Nr Nr Nr     Chloronaphthalene P Nr Nr Nr     Chlorothene Vg F Nr P Nr     Chromic Acid, 50% F Nr G Nr     Citric Acid, 10% E E E E     Coal Tar Distillate G F F P     Cotton Seed Oil E G G P     Creosote G G F G     Cutting Oil E E G F     Cyclohexanol E E E E     Di-Isobutyl Ketone E P P P     Di-Isocyanate G G F P     Dibutyl Phthalate G F Nr G     Dichlorethane F P P Nr     Diethylamine F P Nr Nr     Dimethyl Formamide, Dmf Nr G Nr E     Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Dmso E E Nr E     Dioctyl Phthalate, Dop G G Nr F     Dioxane Nr N Nr F     Electroless Copper E E E E     Electroless Nickel E E E E     Epoxy Resins, Dry E E E E     Ethyl Acetate Nr F Nr G     Ethyl Alcohol E E G E     Ethyl Ether E E Nr Nr     Ethyl Formate G G P F     Ethylene Dichloride Nr N Nr P     Ethylene Glycol E E E E     Formaldehyde E E E E     Formic Acid, 90% F E E E     Freon, Tf E E Nr Nr     Freon, Tmc Nr N Nr Nr     Furfural Nr G Nr E     Gasoline (White) E Nr P Nr     Glycerine E E E E     Grain Alcohol E E G E     Hexane E E Nr Nr     Hydraulic Fluid, Ester G E P P     Hydraulic Fluid, Petrol E G F P     Hydrazine, 65% E E E G     Hydrochloric Acid, 10% E E E E     Hydrofluoric Acid, 48% E E G G     Hydrogen Peroxide, 30% E E E E     Hydroquinone, Saturated E E E G     Iso-Octane E E P Nr     Isobutyl Alcohol E E F E     Isopropyl Alcohol E E G E     Kerosene E E F E     Lacquer Thinner G G F F     Lactic Acid, 85% E E E E     Lauric Acid, 36%/etoh E E F G     Linoleic Acid E E G P     Linseed Oil E G F P     Maleic Acid, Saturated E E G E     Methyl Alcohol E E G E     Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Mek Nr P Nr G     Methyl Isobutyl Ketone, Mibk P N Nr F     Methyl Methacrylate P N Nr P     Methylamine E G E E     Methylene Bromide Nr Nr Nr Nr     Methylene Chloride Nr Nr Nr Nr     Mineral Oils E E F F     Mineral Spirits, Rule 66 E G F Nr     Monoethanolamine E E E E     Morpholine Nr P Nr E     Muriatic Acid E E E G     Naphtha vm&p E G F Nr     Nitric Acid, 10% E E G G     Nitric Acid, 70% Nr G F Nr     Nitrobenzene Nr N Nr F     Nitromethane, 95.5% F E P E     Nitropropane, 95.5% Nr G Nr E     Octyl Alcohol E E F E     Oleic Acid E E F F     Oxalic Acid, Saturated E E E E     Paint & Varnish Removers G G P F     Paint Thinner G G F F     Palmitic Acid, Saturated G E G G     Pentachlorophenol E E F Nr     Pentane E E Nr P     Perchloric Acid, 60% E E E F     Perchloroethylene G N Nr Nr     Permachlor G G Nr P     Petroleum Spirits E E P F     Phenol Nr E G E     Phosphoric Acid E E G G     Phosphoric Acid, Conc E E G G     Pickling Acid E E G G     Picric Acid, Sat./Etoh E E E G     Pine Oil E E G P     Plating Solutions E E E E     Potassium Hydroxide/koh 50% E E E E     Printing Inks E E F G     Propyl Acetate F P Nr F     Proply Alcohol E E F E     Propylene Oxide Nr Nr Nr P     Rubber Solvent E G Nr Nr     Silicon Etch Nr G F Nr     Skydrol 500 P P P F     Sodium Hydroxide/naoh, 50% E E G E     Stearic Acid E E G E     Stoddard Solvent E E F Nr     Styrene Nr Nr Nr Nr     Sulfuric Acid, 10% G E G E     Sulfuric Acid, 95% Nr F G Nr     Tannic Acid, 65% E E E E     Tetrahydrofuran, thf Nr Nr Nr Nr     Toluene F Nr Nr Nr     Toluene Di-isocyanate, tdi Nr Nr Nr Nr     Toluol F Nr Nr Nr     Trichlorethylene, tce Nr Nr Nr Nr     Tricresyl Phosphate, tcp E F F E     Triethanolamine, 85% tea E E E G     Trinitro Toluol E G G P     Triptane E E P P     Tung Oil E E F P     Turpentine E Nr P Nr     Vegetable Oils E G F F     Wood Alcohol E E G E     Wood Preservative, penta G G F F     Xylene G Nr Nr Nr   Texas America Safety Company   4400 Danhil Drive   Brownwood, TX 76801     Toll Free 1-800-646-5346   Outside US 1-325-646-5346   Local 325-646-5346   Fax 1-325-646-3790 sales@tasco-safety.com
