Glove Material Applications
=
Butyl
A synthetic rubber material that offers the highest=
permeation resistance to gas and water vapors.
Especially suited for use with esters and ketones.
=
Neoprene
A synthetic rubber material that provides excellent
tensile strength and heat resistance. Neoprene is
compatible with some acids and caustics. It has
moderate abrasion resistance.
=
Nitrile =
A synthetic rubber material that offers chemical and=
abrasion resistance-a very good general-duty glove.
Nitrile also provides protection from oils, greases,=
petroleum products and some acids and caustics.
=
PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
=
A synthetic thermoplastic polymer that provides
excellent resistance to most acids, fats and petrole=
um
hydrocarbons. Good abrasion resistance.
=
PVA=D6 (polyvinyl alcohol) =
A water-soluble synthetic material that is highly
impermeable to gases. Excellent chemical resistance =
to
aromatic and chlorinated solvents. This glove cannot=
be used in water or water-based solutions.
Vitonr
A fluoroelastomer material that provides exceptional=
chemical resistance to chlorinated and aromatic
solvents. Viton is very flexible, but has minimal
resistance to cuts and abrasions. =
SilverShieldr
A lightweight, flexible laminated material that =
=
resists permeation from a wide range of toxic and =
=
hazardous chemicals. It offers the highest level of =
=
overall chemical resistance, but has virtually on cu=
t =
resistance.
4H
A lightweight, patented plastic laminate that protec=
ts
against many chemicals. Good dexterity. =
