What the AI looks for in Painting Gloves
- Material
- Nitrile for paint and solvent work. Avoid vinyl, and avoid latex if allergies are a concern. Vinyl tears and offers little solvent resistance.
- Thickness
- Choose thicker disposable nitrile for painting and cleanup, and thin gloves only for light touch work. Thin gloves tear and let solvent through faster.
- Chemical match
- For strippers, use the glove type named on the stripper label. Some strippers permeate nitrile quickly.
- Fit and grip
- Choose textured fingertips and a snug fit. Loose gloves catch on brushes and slip on wet handles.
Brands that matter
- Ammex: Disposable nitrile gloves, including the heavier Gloveworks line.
- Showa: Reusable chemical-resistant work gloves.
- Venom Steel: Durable disposable nitrile gloves.
What to avoid
- Vinyl gloves for solvent or stripper work
- Thin exam gloves for long painting sessions
- Reusing torn disposables after solvent contact
