Abstract |
Three different protective glove combinations based on Viton, butyl rubber and Silvershield were evaluated for their permeation resistance to 28 chemicals. For all but one chemical, a butyl rubber outer glove with a Silvershield inner glove provided chemical resistance meeting US Coast Guard criteria. No glove combination could be found to provide permeation resistance to tetrahydrofuran within the 1-hour criterion. It is concluded that selection of 2 gloves to form a glove system realises both increased and broader chemical resistance with only slightly diminished wearer dexterity and tactility. |
