The rate at which a chemical passes through a glove material. This process involves absorption on the glove surface, the diffusion of the chemical through the material, and the desorption on the glove's inside surface. A synthetic rubber material that offers the highest permeation resistance to gas and water vapors. Especially suited for use with esters and ketones. 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 also provides protection from oils, greases, petroleum products and some acids and caustics. A synthetic thermoplastic polymer that provides excellent resistance to most acids, fats and petroleum hydrocarbons. Good abrasion resistance. A water-soluble synthetic material that is highly impermeable to gases.
