Certain chemicals not only cause permanent damage to your skin but can also penetrate through the skin and be transported in the bloodstream, leading to potentially life-threatening injuries. Therefore, it is vital to have the correct chemical protection. 

Chemical-resistant gloves are intended for single-day use, and depending on the chemical, you may need to change gloves immediately after any splash on your hand. Once a chemical has been absorbed, it continues to permeate the glove. A glove that protects against a particular chemical may not offer protection against other chemicals or a mixture of chemicals.

Consider the following when handling chemicals:

• Read the safety data sheet for the chemical about to be handled and search our chemical database to find the correct glove for the task.   
• Use common sense when handling chemicals, as our advice on the website should be seen as indicative, and breakthrough time can vary depending on, for example, temperature.  
• The gloves you choose must have the right chemical protection and be suitable for the task, considering dexterity, grip, and durability. 
• Always use our chemical search tool or contact our team for expert advice when choosing chemical-resistant gloves.
