Abstract
This study explored chemical permeation of latex neoprene gloves by acetone. Twenty-three specific glove sites were monitored to determine the breakthrough time and the challenge liquid concentration at steady-state. In summation, the thinnest parts of the gloves, which are the backs, the palms, and the interstices between the fingers, exhibited the shortest breakthrough times and largest steady-state concentrations. The thickest parts of the gloves, the fingertips, exhibited the longest breakthrough times and least steady-state concentrations. The backs or palms are appropriate specimens to use for chemical permeation testing.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
