The cartridges for vapor, there are many gloves that will stop most or all of those solvents, including the most commonly found nitrile ones (not sure about toluene/nitrile...).

thanks DR.
I am using cartridges for organic vapors and if there is not one especific for dichloro. then I will follow using that.
Nitrile gloves are good, but Im not sure if they are good enough for dichloro.

neither latex nor nitril gloves really stand organic solvents like toluene etc.
One can find tables from the manufacturers how long they resist (a few minutes).
(google: nitril gloves toluene ->

When you get solvent onto your gloves, I would better change them.
