Abstract
Objective: We developed a device to evaluate the permeation resistance of whole chemical-protective boots continuously in contact with liquid chemicals, which compares the permeation time of the material test piece with the permeation time of the whole boot and evaluates its performance.
Method: According to JIS T 8117:2005 (Japanese Industrial Standard), the permeation time was calculated for toluene, dichloromethane, and acetone in four types of boots.
Results: The results of the permeation test of the whole boot test showed shorter permeation times than those of the material permeation test, according to JIS T 8117:2005. The permeation time of toluene was more than twice that of Boots C and D. The permeation time of dichloromethane was more than twice that of Boots A and C and more than three times shorter for Boot A.
Conclusion: The difference between the whole boot test and the material test was thought to be related to the variation in thickness, type of material, difference in adhesion, and penetration from pinwheels. This method enables the determination of the permeation and other performance of the whole boot, which cannot be determined using material testing alone. By using this device for testing, specific chemical-protective boots that are appropriate and can prevent chemically induced damage to the feet more efficiently can be selected.
目的:研制了一种连续接触液体化学品的全型化学防护靴的耐渗透性能评价装置,将材料试件的渗透时间与全型化学防护靴的渗透时间进行比较,评价其性能。方法:根据JIS T 8117:2005(日本工业标准),计算四种靴子中甲苯、二氯甲烷和丙酮的渗透时间。结果:根据JIS T 8117:2005,全靴渗透试验结果显示,渗透时间比材料渗透试验短。甲苯的渗透时间是C、d靴的两倍多,二氯甲烷的渗透时间是A、C靴的两倍多,A靴的三倍多。结论:全靴试验与材料试验的差异可能与厚度、材料类型、附着力差异、风车渗透等因素有关。这种方法可以测定整个靴套的透气性和其他性能,而这些是单独使用材料测试无法确定的。通过使用该设备进行测试,可以选择合适的、能够更有效地防止化学物质对脚造成伤害的特定化学防护靴。
期刊介绍:
The scope of the journal is broad, covering toxicology, ergonomics, psychosocial factors and other relevant health issues of workers, with special emphasis on the current developments in occupational health. The JOH also accepts various methodologies that are relevant to investigation of occupational health risk factors and exposures, such as large-scale epidemiological studies, human studies employing biological techniques and fundamental experiments on animals, and also welcomes submissions concerning occupational health practices and related issues.
