I am looking for journal or fact/ evidence as a supporting document.
We know Natural Rubber Latex and Synthetic Latex may react with metal and oil-based antiseptic. But how can we support this statement. Please advise.
Sorry, but I'm unclear what you are looking for. It is well known that latex gloves etc. have very poor strength retention in a wide variety of liquid chemicals and "oils". Nitrile rubber articles are substantially better. Perhaps there are gloves made of polyurethanes, or fluorinated rubbers, or other more resistant materials available that are better yet, for specific exposures. But what is a "metal and oil-based antiseptic", please? The specifics will matter for any choice of glove material.
You may have to do controlled exposures of your prospective gloves in this antiseptic, and verify that strength at break, and elongation at break, are not too badly affected.
If your situation is one-use gloves, and short exposures to antiseptic, then testing can be quite short and simple.
