Glove Selection Guidelines

Revised January 2023

The following glove selections are for use when direct chemical contact is expected. Recommendations are based on use of thick (usually 18-28 mil) gloves, not thin (usually 3-8 mil), disposable gloves. Do not use thin, disposal gloves (even those made of the recommended glove material) when direct chemical contact is expected. For incidental contact with organic chemicals, a thin nitrile glove may be used. Use only a recommended glove when using chemicals that are considered particularly hazardous, highly corrosive, skin sensitizers, or which readily absorb through intact skin. Contact EH&S for additional glove recommendations.

Note 1: Where more than one glove type is listed, all choices provide protection.

Note 2: “Skin” notation designates chemicals which the ACGIH has identified as being able to absorb through intact skin and contribute to overall chemical exposure.
