Review on MAPA Mediumweight Multi Layer Resistant Thickness by Lild Zimmerly

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good gloves but misleading description

Gloves appear to be of acceptable quality. However, I'm giving it 2 stars because of the misleading description. They are not 59 mils or 0.059 inches thick. They are approximately 0.020 inches thick with a cotton lining for a total of 0.059 inches. If you use them on harsh chemicals and are not informed enough to know if the rubber is less than .059" thick, you can get severe chemical burns because they are not thick enough to provide an adequate vapor barrier for some caustic volatile solvents to offer. They're probably fine for working with acetone, but they might not suffice for use with something like dichloromethane (methylene chloride). If you are looking for 20 mil butyl rubber gloves at an affordable price these seem like a good option.

Pros
  • Laboratory, safety and work gloves
Cons
  • Some minor issues
