SWEAT AND OZONE RESISTANCE

Abstract

The resistance of polyurethane and neoprene rubber foams (source not given) to solutions containing physiological concentrations of sodium chloride and urea, and oxygen-ozone mixtures was determined. Immersion of both materials in various 'sweat solutions' for 48 hours did not impair their tensile strength or apparent elasticity. Exposure of both materials in an oxygen-ozone mixture for 40 to 60 minutes also did not impair them, although gum rubber disintegrated under these conditions of test. (Author-PL).
