   The spec sheet for either Alpha or Lapp products will list the degree   
   of resistance to oil or chemicals. I don't know what you go by, but   
   gasoline and other solvents don't tend to hang around - they may   
   sometimes be intentionally used in cleaning, but only under 'user   
   beware' conditions. Both mfrs sell on-line. Alpha will cut.   
      
   Mogami has made superior products for a long time before being   
   purchased by OKI. I doubt quality has suffered, but they do not and   
   have never addressed industrial environmental requirements - that's   
   not their market.   
      
   Get off the pot.
