Editor's Verdict: Combining strong chemical resistance with contact heat resistance up to 250°C, the Ejendals Tegera 8162 Protective Safety Gloves are great for handling hot chemicals in an industrial setting.

They also feature pre-curved fingers for greater dexterity and to reduce hand fatigue, while the heavily ribbed surface of the gloves provides a secure grip, even in wet conditions. Best Cut-Resistant Chemical Gloves
Editor's Verdict: When using chemicals in places like farms and building sites, you may need work gloves with both chemical and mechanical protection. The ATG MaxiChem 76-833 Gauntlet Gloves use CUTtech fibres to offer strong resistance against cuts and and abrasions, as well as limited puncture and tear protection. This is great for using tools and equipment, without compromising the chemical barrier of the gloves.

Editor's Verdict: If you're doing precise and fiddly jobs in a lab setting, the Polyco Bodyguards GL890 Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves are your best bet. The synthetic rubber is flexible, close-fitting and really thin at only 0.11mm, while the fingertips are textured for a great grip.
