Title Protective gloves for handling epoxy resins
Original title Schutzhandschuhe für Epoxidharz-Systeme [in German]
Bibliographic information Oct. 1995, No.10, p.532-535. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract The penetration of protective gloves by 4 different epoxy resins and 6 different hardeners used in the construction industry was studied in the laboratory. The protective gloves were made of 6 different natural or synthetic rubbers. Only one of the tested materials, made of synthetic rubber, was not penetrated by the epoxy resins or hardeners within a period of 480 minutes. Latex gloves provided no protection of the skin from the epoxy resins.
