Glove Selection Chart - Chemical Breakthrough Times

The below glove selection chart is provided by All Safety Products as a general guide for glove
selection in relation to chemicals handled. The information presented here is believed to be accurate;
however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. In any case, where there is a hazardous condition, we
recommend that you consult with a certified safety professional. Many factors affect the breakthrough
times of glove materials including, but not limited to:
1. Thickness of glove material

2. Concentration of the chemical worked with
3. Amount of chemical the gloves come in contact with
4. Length of time which the glove is exposed to the chemical
5. Temperature at which the work is done
6. Possibility of abrasion or puncture.
This information is provided as a guide to proper glove material selection. Glove performance varies
between manufacturers, so always give yourself extra time and do not push glove strength to the
estimated limits and consult a certified safety consultant when in doubt to make sure you have the right
glove for your application.
