Chloroprene Glove Chemical Compatibility Chart

The chemical compatibility information on this chart is intended to provide general information about the reactions of chloroprene gloves to commonly used chemicals. Chloroprene exam gloves are thin-gauge disposable products and are not designed for applications involving prolonged, direct exposure to chemicals.

The rating scale (poor to excellent) takes into consideration:

  1. The ability of the chemical to permeate the glove
  2. The ability of the chemical to degrade or break down the physical structure of the glove
  3. The risk to the wearer from contact exposure to the chemical

Legend: E: Excellent;  G: Good;  F: Fair;  P: Poor;  NR: Not Rated
