Abstract
We have tested and measured the vapor penetration of 29 common laboratory solvents on 28 protective gloves using gas-phase, infrared spectrophotometric techniques to determine the permeation characteristics. Five different types of permeation behavior were identified. No one glove offered complete protection against all the solvents tested. The permeation rate of the solvent was found to be inversely proportional to glove thickness for a given manufacturer's material. Of two solvent mixtures tested, one exhibited a large, positive, synergistic rate.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
