ChemMax® Encapsulating Suits

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about ChemMax® Encapsulating Suits by Lakeland Industries Europe Limited, focusing on their design, physical properties, and usage guidelines. These suits are designed for protection against hazardous chemicals, with specific styles and materials tailored for different levels of exposure.
Specifications: ChemMax® suits are available in four types (ChemMax® 1, 2, 3, and 4 PLUS), each with varying levels of protection and physical properties. Key properties include abrasion resistance, flex cracking, tear strength, tensile strength, puncture resistance, burst strength, and seam strength, all measured against EN standards.
Design and Features: The suits are fully encapsulating with a hood, face visor, and attached boots. They feature a rear entry design with a PVC visor, elastic wrists, and a hood-mounted exhaust port. Two styles are available: a flat back with an air inlet hose and an expanded back for self-contained breathing apparatus.
Usage Guidelines: The document emphasizes that these suits are not gas-tight and are unsuitable for environments with hazardous gases and vapors. They are certified to Types 3 and 4 for protection against liquid chemicals. Safe-wear times should be calculated based on permeation rates, temperature, and chemical toxicity.
Chemical Permeation and Safety: The document advises using the PermaSURE® app for calculating safe wear times based on real-world conditions. It warns against relying solely on permeation test data for safety assessments.
Selection Considerations: When selecting a chemical suit, consider the chemical's toxicity, the type of spray, and environmental factors. The document outlines the importance of choosing the right level of protection to avoid unnecessary costs and discomfort.
Standards and Certifications: The suits comply with various EN standards for chemical protection, including EN 14605 for liquid sprays and EN 943 for vapors and gases. The document also mentions the removal of Type 2 in the 2015 version of EN 943.
Additional Resources: A QR code and link are provided for further information on selecting the appropriate chemical suit and assessing safe-wear times.

Size: M - XXL For the latest data available refer to the Chemical Search Page (accessible at www.lakeland.com) ChemMax® 3, ChemMax® 4 Plus and Interceptor® Plus fabrics work with the PermaSURE® smart-phone app for calculation of real world safe wear times according to temperature and the toxicity of the specific chemicals - with over 4000 chemicals in the database. Permeation test data should not be used as an indication of safety or safe wear time and if used so can give a false impression of safety. Users may be coming into contact with a chemical without realising it. Safe-wear times should be calculated taking into account permeation rate, temperature and chemical toxicity. WARNING! These coveralls are not gas tight and are not suitable for protection in environments where hazardous gases and vapours may be present but will provide superior protection in more hazardous liquid chemical environments.
