Title Chemical permeation of protective clothing.
Bibliographic information Dec. 1980, Vol.41, No.12, p.884-887. Illus. 13 ref.
Abstract A simplified apparatus and procedure for determining the permeation rate of volatile chemicals through protective clothing is described. It is applicable to all types of sheet material and provides and accurate measurement of the permeation rates as a function of time. Breakthrough times and permeation rates of 1,4-dichloro-2-butene for 15 commercially available materials were determined.
