Recommend me some gloves that don't melt

Can anyone recommend a chemical resistant glove that typical paint strippers and rust removers won't melt? I've tried latex and nitrile medical gloves as well as dishwashing/household cleanup type yellow gloves. Maybe butyl rubber, or neoprene? How about brake cleaner? Will anything stand up to that?

Try searching online for "acid resistant gloves"

I first started using them in the Army over 30 years ago for battery maintenance work and buy them now at the local industrial supply house. They hold up to all kinds of things including paint strippers and paint reducers.

Gloves that I have bought (at Home Depot) had charts on the packaging that detailed what they could be used with. It actually told you which type to use for a particular chemical, not just the use that particular pack was good for. I also got sick of guessing as to what gloves would work..........melted a few before I decided to read up:roll:.
