Wettability measurements of the polymeric materials that are designed to be used for protective gloves
are the key aspect in the evaluation of their potential safety of use. The gloves made of polymeric
materials that will be resistant to chemical or biological contamination should exhibit low wettability
and good adhesive properties to reduce the possibility of accumulation of hazardous substances on the
surfaces of the gloves together with losing dexterity of hand movement during work. Currently, in
laboratory practice, there is no method to investigate thoroughly the wetting properties of polymeric
surfaces taking into consideration parameters like water permeability index, non-wettability index, and
absorption index. The presented research concerns the novel way of measuring the wettability of
polymeric protective gloves, and the validation of the proposed method. Based on the series of
performed measurements, a thorough assessment of the uncertainty budgets for individual components
of performed metrological analysis of obtained results was performed. Based on these findings, the
measurement errors that could affect the reliability, repeatability, and quality of the performed
investigation have been identified.
