It is possible that oils utilized as minor ingredients will be compatible with latex. Check with the manufacturer to determine latex compatibility. Most steroid creams are petroleum-based and should not be used under latex gloves. Petroleum-based products act as plasticizers, entering the rubber matrix and mechanically breaking the molecules apart. This results in changes to the physical characteristics such as elasticity, tear resistance, strength and dimensions.
Some glove materials are more resistant to specific chemicals than others.
In order to determine which glove to use in which situation, chemical resistance guides are helpful. The chemical I am using is not on any chart. For added protection, when permeation resistance to specific chemicals is uncertain, the use of a chemical resistant industrial glove is recommended. You can check with the chemical manufacturer to determine glove compatibility with a specific chemical or refer to one of the chemical resistance guides that are available before you use a specific product. Gloves that become soft and tacky or hard and brittle during use have been degraded by the chemicals with which they are in contact, although evidence of breakdown is not always so obvious.
