TI  - Swelling of four glove materials challenged by six metalworking fluids.
PG  - 1-8
AB  - The performance of protective gloves against metalworking fluids (MWFs) has 
      rarely been studied because of the difficult chemical analysis associated with 
      complex MWFs. In the present study, glove swelling was used as a screening 
      parameter of glove compatibility after challenge of the outer surfaces of 
      chloroprene, latex, nitrile, and vinyl disposable gloves by six MWF concentrates 
      for 2 hours in an ASTM F-739-type permeation cell without collection medium. 
      Swelling relative to original thickness was up to 39% for latex, 7.6% for 
      chloroprene, and 3.5% for nitrile. Shrinking up to 9.3% occurred for vinyl. 
      Chloroprene and latex did not swell significantly for the semisynthetic and 
      synthetic MWFs. Vinyl, previously not tested, was a good candidate for MWFs other 
      than the soluble oil type. Although nitrile was recommended by the National 
      Institute for the Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for all types of MWFs, 
      its swelling after 2-hour challenge was significant with Student t-tests for the 
      soluble oil, synthetic, and semisynthetic MWFs. Glove swelling can be used as a 
      screening chemical degradation method for mixtures such as MWFs with difficult 
      chemical analysis. Further studies need to be conducted on the relationship 
      between permeation and glove swelling.
