After entering application-specific variables, PermaSURE determines the maximum safe exposure time limit and reports on relevant hazard information.

Lakeland Europe CEO, Martin Lill said: “One of the main concerns with chemical permeation test data is that the 23°C standard lab temperature does not reflect conditions encountered in the field. In reality, temperatures are invariably higher and higher temperatures mean higher permeation rates. Lab data is therefore only useful for comparing materials. It cannot be relied on for practical application.”

Lakeland believes PermaSURE can make a significant contribution to managing risk and improving health and safety by providing the user with toxicity limits for task-specific chemicals at task-specific operating temperatures.
