Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on the chemical.
Check the chemical resistance guide for gloves.
Determine the physical factors involved in the glove application, these include:

Dexterity and flexibility

Resistance to puncture and snags

Abrasion resistance

Determine the needed glove length

Test glove

How to size chemical resistant gloves
Proper fitting gloves are important. Gloves too large are uncomfortable, hard to use and can be hazardous. Gloves too small are binding and cause hand fatigue.
To determine size, follow the recommendations of this chart

Factors than can adversely affect the life of chemical resistant gloves
Permeation: rate at which a chemical passes through the glove material.
Breakthrough: the elapsed time from initial chemical contact on the glove surface to actual detection of chemical in the inside of the glove.
Degradation: change in glove properties due to chemical contact. Swelling, softening, hardening, drying and other undesirable effects are some examples of degradation.
