Mix the MMO with some oil and perform your glove experiment again. If the oil/MMO mix causes the same issue then.....
I'm not interested in that at this time. I'm just interested in the effects of MMO on nitrile and possibly other materials.
I'll do it!
I have MMO, motor oil & nitrile golves. Just so you folks are awere...Nitrile Gloves actually have an expiration date on the package and deteriorate all by themselves when just sittin' round for any length of time after that date.
I think that these nitrile gloves are specific to folks that have an allergic reaction to certain types of rubber/nitrile gloves. Brand/chemistry may have a factor with these golves compared to nitrile used in auto parts manufacturing.
I'll report back on my findings(in a week or 2) when using these specific nitrile gloves and different lubes such as (ATF, Oil, MMO, Gear Lube, PB Blaster, Silicone Spray, Gasoline etc.) And, I'll mix some lubes together with the MMO.
IDK how long this will take for each lube/chem to start deteriorate the gloves but, this is why the gloves are "disposable"
