3、ope1.1 This test method is designed to quantify the amount oftotal extractable accelerators in natural rubber latex(NRL)andnitrile gloves.Three common classes of rubber accelerators,the mercaptobenzothiazole(MBT),thiuram,and thiocarbamatetype compounds can be detected and quantified by this method.I
4、f the specific rubber accelerator(s)present in the glovematerial is not known,quantification is based on zinc dibutyl-dithiocarbamate(ZDBC)equivalents.This method will notdetect all potential rubber accelerators,including mercaptoben-zothiazole disulfide,dimorpholine,thioureas and diphenyldiamine.1.
5、2 For the purpose of this test method,the range ofchemical accelerator measurement is based on the limit ofdetection(LOD)established in the performing laboratory.1.3 This test method should be performed by experiencedanalysts or under the supervision of those experienced in theuse of spectroscopy an
6、d working with organic solvents.1.4 This test method has not been validated for measure-ment of long chain dithiocarbamates or accelerators from otherrubber products,such as lubricated condoms(1).2Althoughthis assay has been reported in the literature for the evaluationof accelerator levels in condo
