But different tasks call for different levels of protection, depending on the chemicals that you're using. With so many gloves on the market, it can be hard to know which to choose and where to find true painters gloves.
Here's a quick guide to the types of gloves that are suitable for painters, based on their comfort, fingertip sensitivity and suitability to specific jobs.

Nitrile material does have a higher chemical resistance rate than compared to latex material, although some chemicals will eventually pass through, especially strong grade chemicals. However, for an everyday work glove, nitrile gloves are a good choice for hand protection against common chemicals.
