Abstract

We measured the breakthrough times of laboratory gloves that are commonly used in laboratories and are easily accessible on protective equipment market. Standard measuring method of the Army of Czech Republic called MIKROTEST has been used to measure these breakthrough times. To measure breakthrough times this measuring method uses the distilled sulfur mustard [bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide]. The breakthrough time has been measured separately for different parts of each type of laboratory gloves (fingers, palm, back and wristband). The thickness of all the different glove parts has also been measured using a quick thickness meter. The measurement results have been statistically processed and minimal breakthrough time values for separate glove parts and for the whole gloves (disregarding the point of measurement) have been determined. Altogether nine types of laboratory gloves have been the subject of breakthrough time measurement.
