National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Chemical Protective Gloves for Seven Commercial Herbicides.

PB96106950

Publication Date	1995
Personal Author	Berardinelli, S. P.; Sanderson, W. T.; Hall, R. C.
Page Count	44
Abstract	The breakthrough times of seven commonly used herbicides through various commercially available protective gloves were determined. Glove samples were challenged with the concentrated herbicide formulations using ASTM Test Method F-739. Based solely on chemical resistance data, the specialty laminate (Silver Shield, 4H) afforded workers the most protection, the longest breakthrough time, against all seven herbicides tested. Nitrile and butyl gloves, based on chemical permeation and chemical degradation, were protective against AATrex-4L (1912249), Dual-8E (51218452), Lasso Micro-Tech (15972608), Sencor-DF (21087649), and Gramoxone-Extra (4685147). However, they were not protective against Judge (15972608) or Treflan-MTF (1582098). Nitrile and butyl glove materials were wrinkled and distorted after 1 hour exposures to Treflan MTF or Judge. The authors note that wrinkled or distorted gloves should be taken as an indicator of a chemical incompatibility between the herbicide and the glove material.
