PermaSure For ChemMAX 3

“How long am I safe to wear this chemical suit in this toxic environment against this chemical at this temperature?”

This is the key question for users of chemical suits. The new PermaSURE® App from Lakeland provides a more effective answer by allowing users to:

• Calculate permeation rates whilst accounting for the effect of temperature

• Access instant hazard data and toxicity thresholds for more than 1500 chemicals

• Determine safe-use time based on the chemical’s specific toxicity threshold

Chemical permeation rates are affected by temperature; the higher the tempera- ture the faster permeation occurs. Yet the CE standard requires all permeation testing to be conducted at 23 ̊C, even though body temperature is 37 ̊C.
