GENERAL INFORMATION AND CAUTIONS: YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO USE THIN-FILM GLOVES IS EXTREMELY in the chemical resistance chart is accurate or complete. Microflex® gloves have NOT been individually tested against the chemicals contained IMPORTANT TO YOUR SAFETY. Microflex® gloves are intended for use as protection against incidental exposure to chemicals and other harmful in this chart. The barrier properties of each glove type may be affected by differences in material thickness, chemical concentration, temperature, substances. These gloves do not offer protection against all chemicals under all conditions, and are not designed to provide protection against and length of exposure to chemicals. If you ever have a problem, or have any questions about your Microflex® gloves, our Customer Service team prolonged or continuous exposure to harmful substances. As a precaution, glove users are advised to change gloves immediately upon exposure is ready to assist you. Microflex® exam gloves meet or exceed all current medical grade examination glove standards imposed by the ASTM to harmful substances. It is the responsibility of the user to choose the appropriate glove type, thickness and to change gloves as they become International and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At 1.5 AQL, our gloves meet or exceed new AQL standards. contaminated. This Chemical Resistance Chart is offered as a guide and for reference purposes only.
