Sometimes I use dishwashing gloves when carving cooked duck, which is very fatty. I have noticed that over time my dishwashing gloves seem to be shrinking a little bit and getting stiff. Could this be because of the fat?

1$\begingroup$ Fat could diffuse into the glove rubber and let it swell a bit. That would make the material become stiffer, and because it is originally stretched, shrink a bit in the direction it was stretched. $\endgroup$– KarlOct 1, 2017 at 23:16

$\begingroup$ @Karl PVC glove (have seen thin one time use ones) need plasticisers, because pure PVC is just hard and brittle. $\endgroup$– Volker SiegelAug 22, 2018 at 8:33

$\begingroup$ For a good answer, we need to know the material of the gloves - just roughly is enough, but details help, of course. The product name may be helpful. $\endgroup$– Volker SiegelAug 22, 2018 at 8:35
