Cotton and fabric gloves: will keep workers hands clean and help protect against abrasions. Generally, these are not meant to withstand rough or sharp materials. 

Coated fabric gloves: Coated gloves provide protection against some chemicals. Be sure to look at the MSDS data for the chemicals you have to see if the glove coating type can withstand exposure to your specific chemicals. 

Rubber, plastic or synthetic gloves: These gloves are adequate for oils, solvents and some chemicals. 

Leather gloves: Leather gloves resist sparks and some moderate heat given off from welding applications. Wearing leather gloves can also reduce the risk of cuts and scrapes. 

Aluminized gloves: Designed for high heat environments like welding, furnace and foundry work, these gloves offer insulating and reflective protection. 

Kevlar gloves: The food industry relies on these cut resistant gloves. Other industries use these becuase they are cut and abrasion resistant in both cold and heat applications. 

Chemical/liquid-resistant gloves: Below is a list of chemical/liquid resistant gloves. Notice the materials vary based on the chemicals. 
Chemical Glove Types

It is important for the employer and understand the potential hazards employees will face each day and provide the proper personal protective equipment for the job.
