This table is for guidance only and does not claim to be exhaustive. Chemical resistance depends on numerous factors such as temperature, contact duration, concentration and glove thickness. We recommend carrying out a suitability test for each application. DACH Schutzbekleidung does not accept any obligations or liabilities in connection with the information given in this table.
