Title Assessing new models of safety gloves for work with organic solvents, and determining their field of use
Original title Ocena nowych rękawic ochronnych odpornych na działanie rozpuszczalników organicznych i ustalenie zakresu ich stosowania [in Polish]
Bibliographic information 1981, Vol.31, No.111, p.327-338. 23 ref.
Abstract Description and results of tests on the protection offered by 6 models of glove (made from polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile and a mixture of oilproof polyvinyl chloride) against a series of industrial solvents including, amongst the most common and agressive: trichloroethylene, toluene, cyclohexane, acetone, ethyl acetate, ethanol, benzene, p-xylene, n-hexane. The tests checked solvent permeability, tensile strength, stretch resistance, flexibility and surface distension. The model of glove that was given approval by the Polish Central Workers' Protection Institute (CIOP) was made from polyvinyl alcohol by a 3-dip process. The technical requirements to be met by this type of glove are reviewed.
