Stringently anaerobic bacteria have been successfully cultured in rubber-stoppered roll tubes. Stoppers of certain types of rubber are so permeable to oxygen that they are unsuitable (Hungate, J. Bacteriol. 86:848, 1963). Butyl rubber is less permeable to gases than are many other types. The permeabilities of butyl stoppers and a common laboratory type to gases concerned in anaerobic culture wo...

Resistance of antichemical clothing primarily depends on the type of material it is made from, in particular on the type of polymer used for coating the fabric carrier. This paper reports on systematic investigations on the influence of the cross-linking density of an elastomer and the composition of a cross-linked elastomer on its resistance to permeation of selected organic solvents. Tests of...

In support of the Premanufacture Notification (PMN) program of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Toxic Substances, the resistance of three glove materials to permeation by multifunctional acrylate compounds was evaluated through a program for the Office of Research and Development. Several recent PMN submissions relate to multifunctional acrylates and essentially no permeation dat...
