These materials can be laminated or blended to create a better performance. Thicker gloves improve the protection but may be clumsier to use, which can reduce safety. [5] Examples of chemical-resistant gloves: Butyl gloves: Made of synthetic rubber, resistant to oxidation, ozone corrosion, and abrasion. Does not perform well with aliphatic or ...
