GLOVE FACTS is a service of Solutia Inc. designed to assist customers in the selection of protective gloves to be used when handling Solutia Products. The data presented here were developed through testing at an outside laboratory, utilizing the ASTM F739 standard method for permeation testing. Applicability of these data should be evaluated by each customer based upon the intended use of the Solutia product.
Permeation Testing
In general, permeation testing involves exposing one side of a glove material to the
particular chemical of interest and noting both the breakthrough time (the time at which
the chemical can be detected on the opposite side of the material) and the permeation rate
(the rate at which the chemical passes through the material). Hours or minutes are the
designated units for breakthrough time. The permeation rate is expressed as the mass of
the permeated chemical per area of glove material per unit time (µg/cm2/min.).
Permeation tests are generally conducted a maximum of eight hours. If no breakthrough time
is observed, the reported breakthrough time is greater than 480 minutes.
