Title Site-specific whole glove chemical permeation
Bibliographic information Feb. 1985, Vol.46, No.2, p.60-64. Illus. 9 ref.
Abstract 23 specific glove sites were monitored to determine breakthrough time using acetone as the challenge liquid and latex neoprene gloves. Breakthrough was faster at the thinnest part of the gloves (backs, palms and interstices between fingers). Fingertips exhibited the longest breakthrough times. The quality of chemical glove permeation testing could be improved by carrying it out only on glove back and palm samples.
