Title The development of a standard method for evaluating chemical protective clothing to permeation by hazardous liquids
Bibliographic information Mar. 1981, Vol.42, No.3, p.202-207. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract Breakthrough time and permeation rates of toluene and N,N-dimethylformamide through neoprene, butyl rubber (Normex aramid), and polyvinyl alcohol protective clothing specimens were determined using a proposed ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard method. Preliminary test data from 2 independent laboratoires have verified the practicality of the method which requires minimum analytical instrumentation. Careful selection of sensitive analytical techniques that are specific for a particular liquid chemical is required.
