Response to What are the best gloves and goggles for mixing chemistry

Latex gloves have two problems. Many people develop allergies to them, and they can corrode and fail unexpectedly when exposed to certain chemicals. A better choice, are Nitrile Gloves. They are similar to rubber, far more chemical resistant and more durable. I buy disposable nitrile gloves from a medical supply house - you can find these in any city. You can also get them from mail order chemical safety/police supply and other similar firms. If they are good enough for a coroner, they are good enough for me. They cost about 30-40% more than latex (about $11-$13 per 100 pair).
