All the major manufacturers of safety gloves provide permeation charts. I always suggest getting the charts that provide the number of minutes it takes for the chemical to be detected on the other side of the barrier. The charts that say "excellent, good, fair, bad" and similar ratings are pretty misleading.
And most thin mil examining gloves are either not rated for permeation or their manufacturers (e.g., Kimberly Clark) clearly state that they do not recommend using thin mill gloves with chemicals or if you do, to immediately remove them as soon as a chemical splashes or contacts them and put on a new pair.
This is what Dartmouth (the employer) didn't tell Karen Wetterhahn.

Hi all,
Here's an article on advances in permeation testing analyzers to make it simpler to perform chemical breakthrough time testing on gloves - a topic that seems to resonate within our list and community.
All my best,
Jon
