| Abstract |
This survey evaluated 6 raw materials that have a potential for skin absorption: aniline, cyclohexylamine, diisopropylamine, tert-butylamine, morpholine and carbon disulfide. Five generic glove materials were tested against these chemicals: nitrile, neoprene, polyvinylchloride, natural latex and natural rubber. The NIOSH chemical permeation portable test system was used to generate breakthrough time data. The results were compared to permeation data reported in the literature that were obtained by using the ASTM F739-85 test method. Aniline has too low a vapour pressure for reliable analysis on the portable direct reading detectors used. The chemical permeation test system provided comparable, reliable permeation data for the other tested chemicals. |
