| Abstract |
The permeability of ten different kinds of protective gloves to five commonly used organic solvents and to solvent mixtures was studied. In permeation test cells of various design the time to breakthrough and the permeation rate were determined. The influence of material thickness, test cell design and temperature on the results was studied. Only one of the ten gloves, which was made of polyethylene, polyvinyl alcohol and laminated polyethylene, was resistant to solvent penetration. A standard procedure for testing the permeability of protective gloves to organic solvents was derived from the results of the experiments. |
