Gloves latex

There are a number of variations on the dipping technology (86), such as the type of manufacturing process (e.g., batch for thicker gloves or continuous

CAUTION This compound is EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE and HIGHLY TOXIC I am not exaggerating Do not, under ANY circumstances, allow the acid to heat above room temperature (bp 37C). Use latex gloves to handle, and dispose of small quantities using plenty of water followed by dilute baking soda/water. 

In addition to the soHd form of natural mbber it is available as a soHd suspended in water, known as latex. Synthetic mbbers are also available in latex form. Latex has become an important commodity used in the manufacture of dipped goods for health and disease protection. The principal uses of natural mbber are as follows tires and retreading, 70% latex (gloves, balloons), 12% mechanical goods, 9% load-bearing components, 4% and other, 5%.

Place a small piece of nonabsorbent paper (the paper separating the nitrocellulose sheets works well) over the section to protect the membrane from fingerprints. In some instances, latex gloves maybe required. When printing a thin section (200-300 pm), placing a piece of membrane on top of the section instead of the nonabsorbent paper frequently gives better results.

The authors describe experiments on six NR compounds commonly used for latex gloves to determine the potential hazards of skin contact with reference to curing compounds and accelerators, including mercaptobenzthiazole and zinc dialkyldithiocarbamates. Simulation methods and the influence of a common hand disinfectant were investigated. In the case of tetramethylthiuram disulphide, it was discovered that decomposition products could be formed on the skin which are not present in the original rubber. 6 refs.

Other relatively inexpensive personal protective items that are not absolutely essential but should be considered are protective garments and gloves. One-piece coveralls with head covers and booties made from lightweight plastic such as Tyvek are relatively inexpensive, semi-repellent, and disposable. Nitrile gloves are preferred over latex gloves because they have much greater tear and puncture resistance. 

DNB readily permeated the latex gloves used for protection has enormous implications in the occupational setting because it shows that this kind of protection is ineffective. Limitations of this study include small sample size, concomitant exposure to other chemicals, and lack of complete information on exposure dose. 

Ten of 12 workers experienced acute irritant contact dermatitis of the hands after 2 days of direct contact. In the most severe case, a woman with no previous skin problems, who wore latex gloves intermittently, had painful swelling of the fingers of both hands with redness and vesicles on the palms. The affected skin later became thickened and showed a brownish discoloration. Another worker noticed small vesicles on the forehead, probably due to scratching with contaminated fingers. All cutaneous reactions cleared within 3 weeks of termination of exposure. Gas chromatograph analysis of the NMP used at the factory did not reveal any contaminating compounds. 

The spectra depicted in Figure 15.3 have all been obtained by placing small quantities of the pertinent substances on a black carbon pad. The question immediately arises whether or not the same results can be obtained by utilizing different substrates. Figure 15.4 displays differential reflection spectra of TNT on leather, fabric, latex glove, aluminum alloy, and cardboard. As can be seen, the spectra are essentially alike, demonstrating that the kind of substrate is immaterial for TNT detection by DR. 

Professor Wetterhahn addressed this very question in 1997 by conducting an experiment that involved adding a tiny amount of dimethyl mercury to a sample. Working in a fume hood, wearing latex gloves, Wetterhahn carefully added the liquid. Then Murphy s Law kicked in, and she accidentally spilled a couple of drops on her gloved hand. She performed a quick cleanup and went back to what she was doing. 

Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is a very strong base. If a concentrated solution of this base were to spill on a latex glove you were wearing, it would feel like regular water. If the solution were to land directly on your skin, however, it would feel very slippery. Why ... 

Common household latex gloves are not chemical-proof. Gloves for the darkroom should be made with neoprene or nitril. 

Caution Carry out all procedures in a well-ventilated hood, and wear disposable vinyl or latex gloves and chemical-resistant safety goggles. For handling diethyl-zinc wear a long laboratory coat, leather gloves, and a helmet with a face protection shield.
