| Abstract |
Nitrile and neoprene gloves were each tested against three chemicals. Breakthrough time data for each material/chemical combination were analysed using an analysis of covariance to adjust for differences in the measured specimen thickness while testing for product differences. A significant difference in chemical breakthrough times was found among generically similar products produced by different manufacturers. The largest difference between the mean breakthrough time of two generically equivalent products, 30 vs. 300min, was obtained for perchloroethylene through nitrile products. Breakthrough time data for use in selection of chemical protective clothing or in prediction modelling for chemical protective clothing should be manufacturer and product specific. |
