Latex gloves offer very limited chemical resistance. Natural rubber offers reasonable abrasion resistance. 2 Butyl A synthetic rubber material that offers the highest permeation resistance to gas and water vapors of all of the materials. This is especially suited for use with esters and ketones. A synthetic rubber material that provides excellent tensile strength and heat resistance.
Neoprene is well suited for many acids and caustics.
It offers moderate abrasion resistance. A synthetic rubber material that offers resistance to a variety of chemicals and good resistance to abrasion. It makes a good general-duty glove. A synthetic thermoplastic polymer that provides excellent resistance to most acids and fats, and many hydrocarbons. A water-soluble material that is highly impermeable to gases.
