Title Permeation of multifunctional acrylates through selected protective glove materials
Bibliographic information Feb. 1992, Vol.53, No.2, p.117-123. Illus. 8 ref.
Abstract The resistance of three glove materials to permeation by multifunctional acrylate compounds was evaluated. Tests were conducted with trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), and two mixtures of HDDA with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA). The rubber gloves tested consisted of butyl, natural, and nitrile rubber materials. None of the acrylate compounds nor mixtures was found to permeate the butyl or nitrile rubber under the test conditions. Permeation through the natural rubber was observed in tests with pure HDDA, a 50% HDDA/50% EHA mixture, and a 25% HDDA/75% EHA mixture. TMPTA permeation through the natural rubber was also detected, but only in one of the triplicate tests after the 360-480 minute sampling interval.
