DuPont Tychem 4000: 21 Industrial chemicals ASTM F1001 — Permeation data (catalog p.10), column for Tychem® 4000*

Index of codes: > = greater than, imm. = immediate (<10 minutes), nt = not tested, L = liquid, G = gas. Normalized Breakthrough Time (NBT) shown in minutes. *Serged and/or bound seams are degraded by some hazardous liquid chemicals, such as strong acids, and should not be worn when these chemicals are present. Permeation testing on chemicals is in accordance with ASTM F739, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Continuous Contact. All tests are conducted at room temperature unless otherwise noted. Reported results are Normalized Breakthrough Times defined by ASTM F739 as the time (in minutes) when the permeation rate reaches 0.1 µg/cm2/min. Note: Numbers reported are averages of samples tested. Sample results vary. All DuPont permeation testing is performed by a third party.
