Delta Plus Chemical Glove Finder: Match the Right Material to Every Hazard

Chemical Glove Permeation Rating Scale.

This chart shows how long a glove can hold up against a chemical. The higher the level, the longer the glove resists before the chemical breaks through. Level 0 offers almost no protection, while Level 6 means the glove can handle over 8 hours of exposure without letting the chemical through.

Levels of chemical protection explained

In the glove permeation chart, levels 0 to 6 show how much chemical protection a Delta Plus Chemical Glove offers. The number reflects how long the glove can resist a chemical before it starts to seep through the material. The higher the number, the longer the glove holds up.

Here’s what each level means in simple terms:

Level	Breakthrough Time	What It Means
0	Less than 10 minutes	❌ Not recommended — very poor protection
1	More than 10 minutes	🟠 Minimal protection — only for short splashes
2	More than 30 minutes	🟠 Basic protection — light handling only
3	More than 60 minutes	🟡 Moderate protection
4	More than 120 minutes	🟢 Good protection — up to 2 hours
5	More than 240 minutes	🟢 Strong protection — up to 4 hours
6	More than 480 minutes	✅ High protection — over 8 hours safe use

Before you start searching for chemical protection gloves, slow down and think through a few key questions. They’ll help you pick the right glove for the job — one that fits both the task and the risks involved.

• What chemicals are you working with, and what are their hazards? Check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the manufacturer. Look up the chemical’s CAS number to understand its classification.

• How will you come into contact with the chemical? Are you fully immersing your hands, dealing with occasional splashes, or just brushing against surfaces?

• How long will you be wearing the gloves?

• What precision or skill is required — will you need high dexterity?

• Are there other hazards — like sharp edges, heat, or electricity — that could damage the glove?

• What’s the surface like on the materials you’re handling? Slippery, rough, or abrasive?

• Do you have any personal considerations — hand size, comfort preferences, or allergies to certain materials?
