Under the EN 13034 standard, the fabric is tested for protection against four liquid chemicals:<\/p>\n
\n- Sulphuric acid (dissolved in water with a concentration of 30%)<\/li>\n
- Sodium Hydroxide (dissolved in water with a concentration of 10%)<\/li>\n
- O-Xylene (100% undiluted)<\/li>\n
- Butanol (100% undiluted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These four chemicals represent common chemicals often found and used in the Industrial workplace.<\/p>\n
About the EN 13034 Testing Process<\/strong><\/p>\nEN13034 testing is carried out at 20\u00b0C \u00b1 2 and 65% \u00b1 5% and then there are then two results from the test. Firstly, how much chemical liquid is repelled by the fabric, and secondly, the percentage of the liquid that the fabric will let penetrate. The results are taken 60secs after the start of the test and then allow the fabrics to be placed into either Class 1, 2, or 3 (the highest being 3) depending on the results and according to the following tables:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
