Significance and Use
This test method is designed to detect holes in food service gloves made of polyethylene that may compromise the barrier quality of the glove.
This method is suitable and designed as a reference method to evaluate samples of polyethylene food service gloves for holes. The presence of holes is defined as a compromise in barrier quality.
This test method is designed for use as a quality referee for holes in polyethylene food service gloves and for manufacturers to evaluate the ongoing control of holes in food service gloves made of polyethylene.
