They negate chemical infused ores and such. So you can use and abuse the smelter without worrying about getting affected by the additive when the item is picked up.
Found in chemistry I guess.

This should definitely be made a thing.

I think if we had this it should only show up in syndie supply crates. Getting affected by your own murder-chems is a good foil to keep people from running sarin-bullets or whatever into the ground.

I agree with this idea, I'll look into it.

I'm a bit apprehensive about this suggestion and somewhat agree with ikkonoishi.
On the one hand, having the bullet casing add the additive to the user restricts some chemists from using heart stopping death chems infused bullets, and forces them to think what chem would not kill them if they picked it up, and what chem will actually be effective if it doesn't harm them so much by picking it up. Having easy access chemical gloves literally removes this entire (imo cool) concept and instead of using their brains, instead they'll just grab a pair of these chemical protective gloves and go to town.
On the other hand, I certainly don't see a problem of chemical protective gloves if they went to the effort of MAKING it themselves. Hell it almost seems that there is an oversight in this: The manufacture makes gloves, and there is a permeability co-efficient, so it would seem obvious that gloves with ~0 permeability would be able to handle the casings.
So in short:
Please don't make the chem gloves automatically available. Do make the low permeability co-efficient (if not already) on processed gloves able to resist the chemicals instead.

People who already know how to do the smelter wouldn't really be stopped too much Sundance. I see explosion and space proof jumpsuits made in the first 10 minutes now a days and I don't think adding gloves to make would hamper anyone very much. I think maybe add the chem proof gloves in the .22 box you buy as a traitor cause only traitors should in my opinion be making crazy death chem .22 bullets in the first place.
