White gloves

From: Jens Glastrup <*bev-jg<-a*> Date: Monday, April 28, 1997 · bev-jg<-a

Some 10 years ago I made soxhlet extractions of white unbleached
cotton gloves. They showed to be full of organic material, probably
fats and alkanes, but this has never been analysed. Therefore, if
the purpose of using these is protecting the objects against
corrosion, and to avoid redeposition of organic material on objects,
the use of gloves should probably be avoided.
