you also have to take into account the glove thickness, which could vary by brand. Some nitrile gloves are 4 mm, others 8 mm...I don't think I would want a generic chart, so much depends on the mfg. And they have quite a bit of incentive to get it right...$$$$$My two cents...

If you do a Google search, you'll end up with generic information that will be unreliable - depending upon which glove has been specified.Suppliers and Google will provide generic "data" but nothing I would rely upon when you really need to confirm adequate protection.It's late and I can't remember the name of the organic chemist who started the testing work at Ansell. He developed the first spreadsheet, which later turned into their database. When I ran into a new molecule that was going to be tested for toxicity as an investigational new drug, if he could not refer to a very close analog to provide protection, I could send him a sample and he would test to provide a recommendation. It depends upon what you are trying to protect against. Is a generic, possibly diluted level of protection adequate or are you trying to protect from a true hazard?From: ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety <DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**Princeton.EDU> On Behalf Of Elliot Stein

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Glove permeation chart - not companyHi all,I am looking for a chart of chemical permeation of different types of gloves - BUT I am trying to find one that isn't produced by a for-profit company.Does anyone know if this exists? If so, link would be most helpful!Thanks!Best,Jessica A.
