Types of Chemistry Lab Gloves: Composition and Use Rubber Chemistry Lab Gloves These chemistry lab gloves are commonly used for basic protection while handling cleaning agents and aqueous solutions. These gloves are elastic, comfortable, and offer good mechanical and chemical resistance. Nitrile Chemistry Lab Gloves Nitrile chemistry lab gloves are a cheaper, synthetic alternative to rubber gloves. However, nitrile gloves are not resistant to: Neoprene Chemistry Lab Gloves This chemistry lab glove offers great flexibility, dexterity, and grip, making them ideal for precision tasks. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Gloves PVC chemistry lab gloves are widely used in cleaning and petrochemical industries because they are: Avoid using PVC gloves with: Butyl Gloves It is ideal for protection against chemical gases, including: They have low gas permeability, making them suitable for daily use in such conditions. They also resist: However, they are: Fluorocarbon or Viton Gloves Viton chemistry lab gloves are the most expensive but offer top-tier resistance to both heat and harsh chemicals. Norfoil Gloves These gloves offer highest-level protection against a wide range of hazardous chemicals. They are especially used in chemistry labs when handling highly toxic substances that can be easily absorbed through the skin. Custom Chemistry Lab Gloves Some lab gloves combine multiple materials to match specific needs. For example: These custom multilayer gloves offer enhanced safety and flexibility for complex chemical tasks.
