The information provided alone is not sufficient to select chemical suit protection. However, it can be valuable for EHS professionals to assess the relative toxicity of specific chemicals as part of an overall risk assessment by indicating airborne concentrations that may cause some level of harm.
Our Safe-Wear Time assessment indicates an effective maximum period a suit may be worn in a specific application before possible leakage may result in harm to the wearer, based on a total inward leakage derived from both fabric permeation and possible suit inward leakage, on the parameters of your application (such as temperature) and on the defined toxicity thresholds (TL’s shown in the tab above) for the chemical.
