What to Avoid
- Strong Solvents/Corrosive Chemicals: Nitrile provides some chemical resistance, but not to all chemicals. Always consult the manufacturer’s chemical resistance chart.
- Prolonged Exposure to Heat/Open Flame: Nitrile can degrade or melt under such conditions.
- Sharp Objects/Punctures: The 3 mil gloves are thin and may tear easily.
- Long-Term Exposure to Certain Chemicals: Some chemicals may eventually permeate the gloves.
Best Practices
- Chemical Compatibility: Always consult compatibility charts for specific substances before use.
- Immediate Replacement: Replace gloves immediately if torn or exposed to incompatible chemicals.
- Pairing with Thicker Gloves: For high-risk tasks, pair with thicker gloves (e.g., 5–8 mil).
