The
information below shows the breadkthrough times of a variety of
protective clothing materials against 25 common chemicals. You should
also review the material's physical properties to determine if it
can withstand the physical hazards environment and select the material
which best meets or exceeds the application requirements. |

Permeation:
Rate by which a chemical can pass through the suit material on a molecular
level through the process of absorption, diffusion, and desorption.
Breakthrough Time: Time elapsed between initial chemical contact of
the suit surface and detection of the chemical inside the suit.
* 1st number indicates breakthrough time in minutes.
* 2nd number indicates steady state permeation rate in UG/CM2/MIN
ND = None Detected
NR = Not Recommended
NT = Not Tested |
