| Résumé : |
UV- and EB-curable acrylates are highly reactive substances - that's why they are used widely and preferably in radiation-curing applications. Due to their reactivity these products may also cause skin irritation, in particular with persons who are working with acrylates regularly. In order to improve the occupational safety, a study which was sponsored by RadTech Europe and RadTech International North America aimed at permeation testing of five widely used acrylates with three different glove materials. It turned out that thin (0.1 mm) disposable nitrite rubber gloves of good quality give adequate protection for up to 30 minutes for most low viscosity acrylates. For the medium thickness nitrile rubber gloves (0.45 mm) no permeation was seen for up to 4 hours, whereas for the thickest qualities tested (0.56 mm) no permeation was found after 8 hours. |
| Note de contenu : |
- The dermatologically most significant component
- Study on the thin gloves typically used by dentists
- Using the wrong gloves may increase risk
- Easily available gloves were tested
- Three different situations were investigated
- For the thickest gloves the choice of solvents is a critical factor
- Thin gloves withstood permeation to most acrylates for up to 30 minutes
- Medium gloves protect for a couple of hours
- Thick gloves were most resistant to permeation
- For HDDA and 2-PEA the tested gloves cannot be racommended
- Thin disposable gloves show no physical resistance
- Medium gloves shouldn't be reused
- Even thick gloves cannot be used for all acrylates
- Recommendations for gloves when handling HDDA or DPGDA
- High quality gloves should be prefered
- Conclusion : different types of gloves can best be used for different situations |
