You hit the nail on the head. The
sensitivity is not to the "polymer" but
rather the "accelerants" or catalysts.

I'm weighing in on the
glove issue. I have a sensitivity to
latex gloves, so switched to nitrile.
(All powder free, by the way). After
some time, I felt like bees were
stinging my hands when wearing nitrile
gloves. I tried using cotton glove
liners, but they are hot and awkward, at
least for me, when performing fine motor
tasks. After some study, I discovered
accelerant free nitrile gloves.
Apparently it is the accelerant they use
in making the material that can be a
sensitizer. My problem was solved.
Best wishes,
Lucy Dillman

Hi Zack,
No, we do not have powered gloves.
They are the thin gloves that we use
for general purpose use. We have
specialty gloves for some specific
applications, but the student will not
be working with those types of
materials for this particular lab.
