Answer to Question 1

The most widely used materials in making gloves are as follows:
 Leather. Offers comfort, excellent abrasion resistance, and minimum cut resistance.
 Cotton. Offers comfort, minimal abrasion resistance, and minimum cut resistance.
 Aramids. Offers comfort, good abrasion resistance, excellent cut resistance, and excellent heat resistance.
 Polyethylene. Offers comfort, excellent abrasion resistance, and minimal cut resistance. Gloves made of this material should not be subjected to high temperatures.
 Stainless steel cord (wrapped in synthetic fiber). Offers comfort, good abrasion resistance, and optimal cut resistance.
 Chain link or metal mesh. Offers very little comfort, but maximum abrasion and cut resistance.
 Butyl rubber. Offers little comfort, but has excellent resistance to heat, ozone, tearing, and certain chemicals including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles, gases, amides, acids, and nitro compounds.
 Viton rubber. Offers little comfort, but performs well with chemical that butyl rubber cannot protect against, including aliphatics, halogenated, and aromatics. Like butyl gloves, viton gloves also perform well in handling alcohols, gases, and acids.

Answer to Question 2

Protective clothing is available to protect workers. Torso protection clothing includes vests, aprons, jackets, coveralls, and full-body suits.
