The Chemical Resistance Chart is offered as a guide and for reference purposes only.
The chemical resistance ratings are based on published research data. Burney Medical Supply cannot certify the accuracy of the data and therefore does not represent nor warrant that the information in the chemical resistance chart is accurate or complete. Burney Medical Supply gloves have NOT been individually tested against the chemicals contained in this chart. The barrier properties of each glove type may be affected by differences in material thickness, chemical concentration, temperature, and length of exposure to chemicals.
