  • Description:
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the protectiveness of four types of disposable nitrile gloves against cyclohexanol. Methods: Experiments involved a 1-inch permeation cell at 35 degrees C and a water shaking bath with a speed of 8.53 cm/sec, using the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) F739-99 closed loop method. The products tested in triplicate were Kimberly Clark safeskin, blue, purple, and sterling nitrile disposable gloves. The challenge cell was filled with 10-mL of cyclohexanol and the collection cell was filled with 10-mL of water, the preferred solvent because of cyclohexanol's solubility and glove compatibility. The method blank comprised the glove and collection water only. The analytical method utilized an Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph with a mid-polar capillary column connected to an Agilent 5973 mass spectrometer used in the selected ion monitoring mode employing the internal standard method. The ions used for detection were m/z 57 for cyclohexanol and m/z 172 for 4-bromophenol. Results: Cyclohexanol permeated all disposable nitrile glove products. The safeskin product had a normalized breakthrough time of 29 +/- 6 min and steady state permeation rate of 2.2 +/- 0.6 ug/cm2/min, blue nitrile 26 +/- 4 min and steady state permeation rate of 12.1 +/- 1 ug/cm2/min, purple nitrile 18 +/- 3 min and steady state permeation rate of 12.4 +/- 2 ug/cm2/min, and sterling nitrile at 8 +/- 3 min and steady state permeation rate of 21.4 +/- 1 ug/cm2/min. Conclusions: The safeskin disposable glove was the most protective of the four that were tested in regards to normalized breakthrough time and steady state permeation rate. The safekin, blue, and purple nitrile gloves would be rated as "Good" while the sterling nitrile gloves would receive a rating of "Poor" according to the chemical resistance rating system for disposable gloves by Kimberly Clark.
