Glove Material: NITRILE
Challenge Chemical Degradation Breakthrough Time Permeation Rate
lsopropanol E >480 min. .001
Breakthrough Time: The elapsed time between initial contact of the chemical on the glove surface and the
analytical detection on the inside of the glove. Typically expressed as a greater than symbol (>), the
example shows the test was run for 480 minutes and then stopped. Also may be expressed as 'ND" for none
detected
Degradation: A change in one or more of the physical properties of a glove due to contact with a chemical.
Can appear as a swelling, softening, shrinkage or cracking of the material. Rating example is “E" for
excellent, meaning the glove has little or no signs of degradation when exposed to the challenge chemical.
A good degradation rating does not guarantee an acceptable breakthrough time.
Permeation Rate: The rate at which a chemical passes through a glove material. This process involves
absorption on the glove surface, the diffusion of the chemical through the material, and the desorption on
the glove's inside surface. This is a complex measurement: pg/cm2/MIN (micrograms per square
centimeter per minute). This measurement is also limited to the 'LDL" or Lower Detection Limit of the
equipment used. The example given is .001, but is sometimes expressed as 'E" or 'P" for excellent or poor.
