Title Protective gloves for handling hazardous substances
Original title Schutzhandschuhe beim Umgang mit Gefahrstoffen [in German]
Bibliographic information Mar. 1998, Vol.29, No.3, p.28-32. Illus.
Abstract An improved test method for determining the permeability of protective gloves is described. It takes into account the following facts which affect permeability: 1. most protective gloves on the market are made of layers of different materials; and 2. mixtures of harmful substances are handled more often than single substances. In addition, the method takes into account wear and repeated contact with harmful substances. It closes the gap left by present methods which determine the penetration resistances of gloves made of a single material in contact with a pure substance. Topics: construction work; harmful substances; liquid-penetrant testing; materials testing; mixtures; penetration resistance; permeability testing; protective gloves; service life; technical development.
