To determine size, follow these recommendations:
hand size:7-8", Small 8-9" Medium, 9-10" Large, 10-11" Extra Large
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.
