(The following is in response to my request for glove material when using
Methylene chloride.  (it is used as the solvent in the manuf of Lexan
polycarb plastic))

For Methylene Chloride, the viton material is recommended for one hour
and silver shield material (Norfoill) 6 hours. If neoprene was used, the
breakthrough time would be 6 minutes. Butly, Neoprene, Nitrile and
Natural Rubber are not recommended.   North (company) makes viton
gloves.
