Chemical- and cut-resistant gloves are made of rubber polymers and are ANSI/ISEA-rated for cut protection to protect workers from hand injuries caused by hazardous liquids and cut hazards. Higher cut levels (A9) provide more cut protection than lower levels (A2). Chemical-resistant gloves withstand exposure to acids, bases, solvents, and other chemicals and are worn by workers in chemical manufacturing, researchers, and others who come into contact with chemicals. Gloves with higher levels of chemical resistance are generally thicker. Thinner gloves have a better sense of touch but less chemical resistance.
