    LABORATORY CHEMICAL GLOVE SELECTION

    To determine the correct glove for your laboratory chemical use:


    1. Consult Material Safety Data Sheets and chemical labels for general recommendations.
    2. Select glove based on hazard levels below.

    Hazard Level General Information


    Low: • Disposable nitrile gloves are appropriate for most laboratory
    • Incidental chemical tasks. Nitrile gloves generally provide better chemical
    contact (occasional drip, resistance than latex gloves, are less likely to rip or tear, and
    splash)- except for pose lower potential for skin allergies.
    corrosives or toxins that
    readily penetrate skin • IMPORTANT: Disposable gloves are not designed to provide
    significant/ prolonged chemical resistance. After contact with
    any chemical, disposable gloves should be removed promptly,
    hands washed, and new gloves obtained.

    Moderate - High: • Glove material must adequately protect hands from chemical
    • Handling of corrosives and permeation/ breakthrough.
    toxins that readily
    penetrate skin • For selecting the proper gloves, review glove manufacturer
    information on chemical resistance. See #3 below for
    • When skin contact is likely information from several major glove manufacturers.
    with carcinogens,
    reproductive toxins, and
    other highly toxic
    chemicals.

    3. Check chemical resistance data of several glove manufacturers:

    4. Additional information:
    • For general guidance regarding glove inspection, use, cleaning/ storage, and disposal, refer
    to the Laboratory Chemical Safety Toolkit at: http://chemtoolkit.stanford.edu/LabPPE
