In chemical suit selection a “breakthrough” result (commonly >480 minutes) from a permeation test is often interpreted as meaning “it takes more than 480 minutes for the chemical to break through the fabric, so I am safe in this suit for 480 minutes”.
productSafe-use times for chemical suits
Chemical Permeation tests on chemical suit fabric are conducted at 23oC. Yet permeation rate increases with temperature. So if the real-world temperature is higher than 23oC, the permeation rate will be higher than indicated by the test and any test-based calculation of safe use time will be wrong, explains Lakeland Industries Europe.
