Chemical Breakthrough Times for Footwear (Onguard® Chart)
          
NFPA-National Fire Protection Association) To pass the applicable boot requirements for NFPA 1991, 2000 edition, boots are independently tested to verify compliance. Boots must resist permeation for 1 hour or more against each chemical in the NFPA 1991, 2000 edition battery. The battery consists of 15 chemical liquids and 6 chemical gases. The boots must also pass a flammability resistance test. Hazmax® kneeboots have successfully passed all of these tests.
NORMALIZED BREAKTHROUGH TIME (MIN)
Using BT criteria 0.1 mg/cm2/min
MAXIMUM PERMEATION RATE:
ug/cm2/min
