Test Method for Chemical Permeation

The Test Method for Chemical Permeation measures how well a material, like gloves or fabrics, blocks chemicals from passing through. It simulates real-world contact by exposing one side to a chemical and monitoring if or when the chemical appears on the other side. This helps determine the material’s protective effectiveness, indicating how resistant it is to specific chemicals. The test provides valuable data for safety standards, ensuring that protective gear performs reliably in hazardous environments while considering factors like exposure time and chemical concentration.
