Gloves, Autoclave
Heat-resistant up to 232 °C, these all-cotton, terry cloth gloves are excellent for handling hot objects just out of the autoclave. Gauntlets provide wrist and forearm protection against possible steam burns. Machine washable. Glove is 12" long.
Gloves, Butyl Rubber
Specialty rubber gloves provide chemical resistance against esters and ketones, especially methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Smooth finish ensures comfort and performance. Versatile size fits medium to large hands.
Gloves, Cotton and Canvas
The ideal glove for working with hot objects. Comfortable, flex- ible material allows easy handling of hot laboratory vessels without fumbling. Extra-heavy fabric—including palm, thumb, and back of first finger—provides superior protection. Gauntlet cuff protects wrist and forearm. Glove is made of cotton flannel and finger backs are made of heavy canvas. Glove is 12" long.
Gloves, Terrycloth, General Purpose
Affordable, heavyweight glove provides excellent protection against heat, sharp objects, and abrasion. Great for general laboratory use— handling hot glassware, pouring hot agar into plates, inserting glass tubing into stoppers. Durable glove is made of a cotton/polyester blend with a knit cuff that fits snugly around the wrist. Glove is machine washable, absorbent, reversible to fit either hand, and is 10" long.
Gloves, Neoprene-Coated
Neoprene-coated gloves. Textured finish on fingers and palm for non- slip grip. More resistant than rubber to heat, sunlight, and organic solvents. Glove is lined to absorb perspiration. Contains some natural rubber latex. Glove is 12" long.

Glove Selection Chart
As with any personal protective equipment, it is important to select gloves that are appropriate for the chemical hazards. One type of glove does NOT protect against all types of chemicals!
The following glove selection chart is offered to help you assess the general chemical resistance of various glove materials. We assume that gloves will be worn to protect against incidental contact of chemicals with skin. The glove selection chart does not replace the need for hazard assess- ment for avoiding contact with corrosive or irritating chemicals.
*Chemical resistance of gloves is measured in three ways: degradation, breakthrough time and permeation rate. For heavy-duty or long-term use, you must consider not only the glove material but also the thickness, size and fit of the gloves.
