Title Permeation of polymeric materials by toluene
Bibliographic information Feb. 1987, Vol.48, No.2, p.155-159. Illus. 20 ref.
Abstract The permeation of toluene through butyl, butyl-coated nomex, neoprene, and polyvinyl alcohol was tested at 25°C and 45°C with the use of ASTM method F-739. Butyl exhibited breakthrough of 18min at 25°C and 11min at 45°C. Butyl nomex exhibited breakthrough times of 11min at 25°C and 6min at 45°C. PVA showed no breakthrough in 20h. The steady-state permeation rates and the diffusion coefficients were determined.
