Subject: Gloves for use with organic solvents
I am looking for disposable gloves suitable for use when handling acetone and other solvents such as ethanol and toluene. A recent search has shown that disposable nitrile and latex gloves are not recommended for use with acetone and toluene whilst some types of gloves are only recommended for splash protection with ethanol, but this is the lowest level of protection according to European Standards and not adequate for our needs. This is the case for several glove brands. Any suggestions or comments on what others use will be greatly appreciated.
