Title Method for testing coating gel resistance to organic solvents
Original title Metoda badania odporności żelu powłokowego na działanie rozpuszczalników organicznych [in Polish]

Abstract Using a quantitative method, the penetrating power of organic solvents was tested with respect to the following skin protection agents: Secol, Fistrax, Mono-Dermin, Stokolan, Sansibal, T-Cewi-San and Physioderm. A qualitative method for comparing their resistance is presented. The following solvents were used: petrol, benzene, trichloroethylene, ethyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride. Secol resistance to these solvents is the best among the preparations tested. Its permeability is very low (from 3% to 6%) which is comparable to the permeability of polyvinyl chloride gloves.
