Organic solvents permeation through protective nitrile gloves

Permeation of aromatic solvent mixtures through nitrile protective gloves

“…benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and p-xylene (BTEX), through nitrile gloves was conducted using the ASTM F739 test cell which has been widely applied to measure the resistance of protective gloves to permeation by liquid chemicals [1,[6][7][8][9]. The Fick's diffusion coefficients and solubilities of binary and ternary solvent mixtures in nitrile gloves were estimated using several models.…”

Diffusion and solubility coefficients determined by permeation and immersion experiments for organic solvents in HDPE geomembrane

“…(2) were C Z=L equal to zero at any time, and C Z=0 equal to the solubility, S (ML −3 ), of the VOC in the polymer [2,[14][15][16]. According to the solutions of Eq.…”

“…Eq. (3) has been widely used to estimate the diffusion coefficient of liquid chemical permeation through the polymer film [2,15]. Based on the assumptions of Crank, the steady state permeation rate, J s (ML −2 T −1 ), for polymer film can be determined by Eq.…”

“…Based on the assumptions of Crank, the steady state permeation rate, J s (ML −2 T −1 ), for polymer film can be determined by Eq. (1) as follows [15,16]:…”

“…Several researchers have conducted immersion tests to obtain the solubilities of chemical in polymer membranes [10,11,15]. In their studies, solubility S i was estimated using the equilibrium sorption data as follows…”
