Permeation Testing for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Materials
Permeation testing is a critical process used to evaluate how well Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) materials, such as gloves and protective suits, resist chemical penetration. By measuring the rate at which chemicals pass through a material at the molecular level, this testing ensures that PPE provides reliable and adequate protection in environments where exposure to hazardous substances is a concern. Accredited to BS EN 16523-1:2015+A1:2018, Lucideon’s permeation testing service combines advanced detection techniques with expert analysis to safeguard workers and ensure compliance with safety standards.
