Title In vivo and in vitro testing of gloves for protection against UV-curable acrylate resin systems
Bibliographic information Nov. 1984, Vol.11, No.5, p.279-282. 6 ref.
Abstract In vitro permeation of a UV-curable urethane acrylate resin system through glove materials was greatest for latex and neoprene gloves and less for nitrile gloves. Permeation in vitro for the resin system took 480min. Individual components of the resin permeated more rapidly when tested separately than when in the formulated system. In-vivo 48-hour patch test data suggested that neither nitrile glove would be adequate for worker protection, but the in-vivo test exaggerated the duration of contact between resin, glove and skin. Both nitrile gloves provide adequate protection under use conditions, provided the gloves are not re-used within 8h.
