[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 8026596, member: 5589"] Chemical breakthrough of nitrile gloves against common pesticide carriers such as toluene, benzene and xylene is measured in minutes and often not very many minutes. Washing the gloves in hot water and detergent does bugger all. The point really is that they do not give a great deal of protection and the problem is that most sprayer operators think they do. This leads to complacency as the wearer thinks they are safe when they are not and therefore increases amount of contact/contamination. Treat gloves as an emergency measure and are only there if you do get chemical splash. You should avoid chemical splash completely but if it does happen get your gloves off quick and dispose of them. (I do realise that nobody will do that) [/QUOTE]
