Durable chemical resistant gloves for the workshop

June 2, 2022 9:09 AM

I have a variety of substances (ethanol, acetone, kerosene, etm.) that I occasionally need to work with. Permanent gloves would be best although I'm open to disposables. The complication is that they need to safely survive storage for long periods at a minimum of 110°F. 130°F would be better. Recommendations would be gratefully received.

The backup plan is to purchase disposable nitrile or latex gloves and expect to throw away 95% of them. Needless to say this is not a great plan.

At my previous retail job, we sold AMMEX gloves as part of our jan/san line. I don't have a specific recommendation for you, but their customer service was always super helpful and knowledgeable; they may be able to recommend a product that checks all your boxes.

I actually got them for doing dishes, because I am overkill that way, but these lab gloves are so amazing. I don't know about longterm storage at specific temperatures, but I have effectively used them as oven mitts multiple times.

Cut resistant, acid resistant, heat resistant. Unavailable in small sizes.
