Chemical Resistant » Chemical Resistant Nitrile Gloves

Nitrile rubber is a co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It offers excellent physical-hazard resistance to punctures, cuts, snags and abrasion. While it is not flame-resistant, it demonstrates functional performance in temperatures ranging from -4° to 149°C (25° to 300°F). Nitrile rubber has considerable resistance to oils, fuels, and certain organic solvents. It is commonly used as a coating for dipped gloves and also in the construction of laminated, impregnated cut-and-sewn gloves.

 
Do more layers equal more protection?
Construction in the palm area of leather gloves leads to some misconceptions. When sizing up gloves in a catalog, it is tempting to believe – based on appearance alone – that a patch palm is going to double your protection. To the uninitiated, palm patches would seem to offer greater protection, as the double palm looks like it would give twice the protection in that area.
The reality with most patch-palm leather glove styles is that the patch exists as a kind of bridge between two pieces of leather to create a full palm. This enables the glove manufacturer to maximize use of the full hide by using up all the smaller leftover pieces.
