These chemicals will degrade, permeate (EN374-3) and penetrate through the polymer (EN374-2). The resistance of the polymer against dangerous chemicals is caused by the polymer itself, by its thickness and by the quality of the polymer. However, there exists no polymer that protects against all chemicals at once. The website www.chemrest.com on the American website of Showa Best Glove features all the information needed to select the most applicable chemical resistant glove for specifi c, potentially hazardous applications. The Chemrest website contains easy-to-read chemical resistance data from over 25000 conclusive tests. About 30 Best products have been tested into 300 pure chemicals or chemical mixtures. It includes rankings from the most effective protection for that particular chemical to least effective. It lists the breakthrough times (permeation) further to EN374 and the weight loss (degradation) and the US protection levels further to ASTM F739 Method for Heavy Exposure and the ASTM F1383 Method for Intermittent Contact. Moreover, it indicates toxicity, NFPA health, fl ammability, reactivity and cancer status information for these 300 chemicals.
