There are many Type 5 & 6 garment options on the market… but how many different fabrics are there?

The following pages 5 to 9 provide a guide to selection of the factors for consideration when selecting the best suit for the job.Selection of the most appropriate garment means more targeted protection and often greater comfort and lower cost.

Fabric strength affects durability and protection. Standard CE tests measure different types of physical strength. What types of tests are available and how do fabrics compare?

Liquid protection is vital for Type 6 garments. CE tests provide methods of measuring performance. How do the different fabrics compare?

Air permeability is the major factor in comfort… the higher the air permeability, the greater the comfort level for the wearer. How do the fabric types compare?

Effective design influences protection, comfort and durability. The Lakeland ‘Super-B’ design incorporates a unique combination of three features making them the best available.

Type tests help to understand these protection types:

Type 6Reduced Liquid (aerosol) Spray

EN 13034

There are 3 types of fabrics used to manufacture Type 5 & 6 garments.

Type 5 Hazardous Dry Particles

• Spray cabin filled with dust• Subject performs exercise

on treadmill

• 3 particle counters INSIDE the suit

• Particle “Inward leakage” calculated

• Recorded as % of inward leakage (TIL)

Type 6 Reduced Liquid (aerosol) Spray

• Four nozzles - aerosol spray of liquid

• Subject rotates on turntable

• Inside absorbent suit checked for penetration

• Pass or Fail according to test criteria

Dense structure of fine, continuous polyethylene fibres. Spunbonded layers (thicker continuous fibres) provide strength

Note: All three fabrics have some level of porosity and are therefore not effective barriers to permeation of hazardous chemicals. More hazardous chemicals should be protected against using EN 14605 Type 3 & 4 chemical garments which are tested using a permeation test rather than the repellency test used for Type 6 garments. See the Lakeland Guide to Chemical Suit Selection

All Type 5 & 6 garments use one of these fabrics or similar variations. How do these fabrics compare? Physical tests required in CE standards

provide an effective performance comparison

Meltblown layer(fine, discreet fibres) provides filtration

It is important for clothing worn by medical staff in projects like the Ebola relief effort in West Africa in 2014-15.

The test includes 4 tests against different types of contaminant.*

Note that the EN 14126 standard defines no requirements for garment construction, thus allowing garments with stitched seams to be certified. However, we would recommend that only garments with sealed seams are used for protection against biological and infectious hazards.

* NOTE: Some manufacturers suggest 5 tests. The first test listed in the standard (ISO 16603) is purely a preparation test for ISO 16604 which is used to indicate where the testing level should begin. Some claim a classification for 16603 but there is no such classification in the standard.

FSPE

Application of common sense

Some manufacturers suggest Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate (MVTR) - the tendency of a fabric to allow moisture vapour to pass through - is equivalent to breathability and results in better comfort.

However, MVTR has a very limited comfort effect for a short time and effectiveness will vary in differing conditions. MVTR is not breathability and does not result in a comfortable garment.

The critical factor affecting comfort is

air permeability.

No CE test for air-permeability of disposable fabrics exists. However, independent testing has been conducted.Air permeability is measured in “cubic feet per minute” - or “cfm” - the volume of air passing through the fabric.

Air Permeability The breathability of both FSPE and microporous film is similar and close to zero. SafeGardTM has a much greater breathability and is the superior choice where comfort is a key requirement.

Cubic feet per minute (cfm) ~3.3 40 <0.5 <0.5 180

Testing indicates FSPE fabric has a breathability of approximately 3.3 cfm, higher than that of MicroMax®.However, SafeGardTM has cfm of 40 - more than 10 times that of FSPE, and by comparison a standard cotton T-shirt has a cfm of 180.

The design and features of a garment can affect protection, comfort and durability.

Pattern Design

An ergonomically styled garment pattern affects comfort and durability:- low cost garments often use a very basic pattern. This results in an uncomfortable garment that is less effective at protecting and soon splits - often first at the crotch.

A low cost garment which needs to be replaced more often does not represent a saving!

Garment SizeEffective sizing and styling of a garment has a major effect on protection, comfort and durability. Low cost garments often are sized smaller in order to use less fabric and save cost.

A poorly sized garment is often uncomfortable and will not last - it may be lower cost but is not a real saving.

Garment Features

Well designed features can enhance the comfort and durability of a garment.

Simple garments may be cheaper but are also less effective and less durable.

1. Three-Piece HoodLakeland garments feature a hood made of three pieces - including a uniquely shaped centre piece. This creates a more 3-dimensional hood which fits the head more effectively and is more comfortable.

Super-B Style: the combination of 3 key design elements (three-piece hood, crotch gusset and inset sleeves) make a uniquely ergonomic style

2. Chest LabelLegally required CE information is included on the chest label so all certification is clearly visible even when the garment is in use.

NEWAll chest labels will feature both an internationally registered barcode and a QR code link to a web page where the EC Declaration of Conformity can be downloaded, as required by the new PPE Regulation.

5. Inset SleevesMost European garments use a bat-wing sleeve. This uses less fabric and is cheaper. However, Lakeland garments use an inset sleeve design in which the sleeve and torso follows the shape of the body.This means the garment fits better and reduces both stress on the crotch and the tendency to pull the sleeves back when reaching up. It also removes the need for potentially hazardous thumb loops so often required on bat-wing sleeve garments.

6. General SizingLakeland garments are generously sized to allow freedom of movement and more circulation of air to enhance comfort.

3. Crotch GussetThe crotch faces great stress and is always the weakest point of a garment - especially where in cheaper garments four seams meet at one point.Lakeland coveralls feature a two-piece crotch gusset which creates a better fitting 3-D shape and spreads the stress. This enhances comfort and reduces the chance of splitting at the crotch.

4. SeamsPremium Lakeland garments such as SafeGardTM 76, MicroMax® and the MicroMax® NS Cool Suit have stitched and bound seams featuring an additional strip of fabric wrapped around the seam, improving protection, strength and durability.

Lakeland garments feature several key design elements that make them superior:

Lakeland garments include a unique combination of key design elements and superior features that make a Lakeland garment one of the best designed available.

All Type 5 & 6 garments on the market are one of these or variations of these.

Liquid ProtectionType 6 CE testing includes liquid repellency and penetration tests against four chemicals.In two of the four chemicals, Lakeland MicroMax® options achieve superior results than the alternative.

CE testing for Infectious Agents to EN 14126 includes tests against four types of contamination. In all four tests MicroMax® options achieve superior results and the highest class compared to the alternative, which is unclassified in the critical ISO 16604 test.

Physical PropertiesTesting as part of CE certification allows comparison of strength properties: abrasion - tensile strength - trapezoidal tear etc.In comparisons of the three fabric types, the Lakeland option offers the superior choice compared to the alternative in most cases.

Comfort and Breathability

Comfort is primarily a result of air permeability.

Independent testing indicates the difference between MicroMax® and FSPE is minimal and close to zero. Both have very low air permeability. The Lakeland SafeGardTM option has an air permeability over 10 times that of the alternatives and is the superior choice for a comfortable garment.

A common sense approach and simple ‘home’ tests clearly confirm both the low air-permeability of MicroMax® and FSPE and the superior air-permeability of SafeGardTM.Where protection AND comfort are required, Lakeland Cool Suit® options provide the best of both MicroMax® and SafeGardTM fabrics and may be the best choice available.

Design FeaturesEffective and ergonomic garment design and features can have a positive effect on protection, durability and comfort.

Lakeland Type 5 & 6 options feature the unique ‘Super-B’ styling and superior features.

Type 5 and 6 garments can be selected on the basis of a combination of three factors:

Air permeability is a measure of the fabric’s tendency to allow air to pass through and is the best indicator of comfort. The higher the breathability, the better the comfort for the wearer. The results show that fabrics such as Microporous films (MicroMax®) and flashspun polyethylene have very low and very similar levels of breathability; both are as close to zero as makes little practical difference. By contrast SMS fabric (SafeGard) has more than ten times the breathability and a standard cotton T-shirt has four times that of an SMS fabric.

This standard measures the tendency of a fabric to ignite and propogate a flame, using the vertical flame test method EN 15025 which applies a flame to the centre or bottom edge of a fabric sample.Index 1 requires that any flame should not propogate to the top or sides of the fabric, that there should be no flaming debris or drips and that there should be no spreading afterglow once burning has ceased. It does however allow the flame contact to form a hole in the fabric.

Many applications require both thermal protection and Type 5 & 6 protection. How do you provide both?

Currently users often wear a Thermal Protective Garment (TPG) for flame protection and wear a standard Type 5 & 6 suit OVER it for chemical protection.

This creates a HAZARD!

Thermal Mannequin Testing: Predicted Body Burn

EN Standard - EN 14116 Protection against Heat and Flame Limited Flame Spread

Thus certification to EN 14116 Index 1 indicates a fabric that will not ignite in contact with a flame.

However it provides NO protection against flame and should not be worn next to the skin.

Thermal Mannequin Testing is optional in EN 11612 for thermal protective garments and provides a method of predicting percentage body burn in a flash fire situation and therefore the effectiveness of the protection provides.

Below are three body maps using different disposables worn over a TPG. 1. A Flashpun PE disposable coverall 2. An FR SMS disposable coverall 3. A PyrolonTM XT coverall

The testing shows that both standard disposables such as Flashpun and FR SMS garments result in higher predicted body burn with very little difference. Only PyrolonTM garments result in a dramatic reduction in predicted body burn.

Standard disposable suit fabrics are based on polypropylene/polyethylene and in contact with flames will ignite and burn

Being thermoplastic they will melt and drip, adhering to the TPG fabric below, transferring heat energy to the skin beneath and to other surfaces, thus potentially spreading the fire.

In a flash fire situation this will dramatically increase the heat energy contacting the skin and thusthe incidence of body burn.

Even in the case of contact with a small flame, a standard disposable suit fabric may ignite and cause burns.

Wearing a standard chemical suit over a TPG can dramatically compromise thermal protection.

WHY USE PYROLON™?

Lakeland PyrolonTM garments use a unique, viscose-based fabric which will not ignite.

The following pages provide a guide to the factors that should be considered when selecting the correct chemical protective garment for your specific application. Pages are colour-coded by section for ease of reference.

Providing too high protection means paying for more protection than needed, and users may be less comfortable than they could be.

Selection of an appropriate chemical suit is vital in ensuring and optimising protection, comfort and cost.

INTRODUCTION

Many users now rely on CE standards to ensure that the PPE they choose will provide protection.

There is more to selecting a chemical suit than simply checking it meets a CE standard.

But does merely ensuring PPE is certified ensure you are protected? No !

There are three reasons why just meeting a standard is not enough

CE standards represent MINIMUM performance levels.

Standards deal with generalities and cannot account for wide variations in real-world conditions.

Standards are commonly misunderstood or misinterpreted, or the detail of standards is not considered.

For example, in chemical protection, Type 3,4 5 and 6 testing allows for SOME penetration of a chemical inside the suit below defined levels.Most users assume passing these tests means NO penetration has occurred.If a chemical is highly toxic with a chronic effect, this might be critical.

In CE standards garments are tested in consistent laboratory conditions. In the real world, garments are used in a huge variety of applications, environments and conditions. It is not possible that standards can account for or anticipate every environment in which PPE might be used.So for example in chemical protection permeation testing is always conducted at 23oC. In the real world temperatures might be much higher or lower than this. and chemical permeation rates change with temperature.So a permeation test on a chemical suit fabric might have little relevance to where or when you actually use a garment.

CE standards and tests are complex. In a busy world users often draw mistaken conclusions about what a particular test means and how it should be interpreted and used in PPE selection.So for example, in chemical protection users generally assume that a permeation test breakthrough is an indication that no permeation has occurred and thus suggests the suit is safe to use for that period.Yet this is is founded on a complete misunderstanding; in fact permeation of the chemical may well have occurred, and in the case of a highly toxic chemical this might be vital. (see page 4)

THERE ARE THREE GENERAL AREAS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED:

1.The chemical?

The primary consideration is the chemical.What does a permeation test ‘breakthrough’ mean? How toxic is it and how much will cause harm?How to calculate safe-use times.

2.The task/hazard type?

What type of spray hazard does the application present?Determining which applies can have important consequences for garment options.

3.Physical/environmental factors?

What physical and environmental factors might be important in the application?

This guide provides users with a summary of the types of issues that need to be considered to ensure workers are adequately protected.

What does a permeation test breakthrough tell you?

What is the difference between test breakthrough and first breakthrough?

How can permeation test results be used?

The graph shows a classic permeation curve and indicates the point of reported ‘breakthrough’ compared with the point of first breakthrough.

(Note: the standard also offers an optional rate of: 0.1µg/min/cm2. This is also used in the equivalent North American Permeation Test. In Europe 1.0µg/min/cm2 is normally used.)

As the purpose of permeation testing is comparison of fabric performance. Pages 6 to 8 include tables comparing Lakeland garments with main brand equivalents.60 120 180 240 300 360 420 480

“Permeation test breakthrough is >480 minutes, therefore no chemical has broken through the fabric in 480 minutes”.

“Therefore I am safe for over 480 minutes!”

‘Breakthrough’ in a permeation test is not recorded when the chemical first breaks through the fabric but when the rate of permeation reaches a particular speed. This is more easily understood by looking at a graph of permeation.

The chemical is the primary factor in FABRIC choice. The critical question is:

‘How long am I safe’

‘Normalised breakthrough’ or ‘breakthrough’ is a figure suitable for fabric comparison only and should NOT be used to indicate safe-use time.

Why?

!

This is made clear in the EN 6529 standard itself. The introduction states:

However

EN 6529

‘These test methods provide various options… to allow a comparison of protective clothing material permeation resistance’

Permeation testing is designed for fabric comparison only and not to indicate a safe-use time. Use of permeation testing to indicate safe-use in this way could result in a misleading conclusion about how long you are safe.The permeation test breakthrough gives NO information about how long you are safe!What is permeation test breakthrough?

Some users make the incorrect assumption that:

Permeation test results are often incorrectly used to answer this question.

How do you know how long you are safe?

How to calculate safe-use times.

Safe-use time Breakthrough should only be used for fabric comparison - to indicate if one fabric is a better barrier than another… so how do you know how long you are safe against a specific chemical?

Safe-use time can be identified using a simple calculation in two stages:

Permeation Duration of Area of suit VolumeRate Exposure Exposed PermeatedX X =1.

Calculate volumepermeated

As permeation rate varies over time an average can be calculated - or use the maximum rate for a wide safety margin.

The time the suit may be exposed to the chemical - how long the task will take.

The total area of the suit that might be contaminated.

2. Compare with chemical toxicity limit

Is the volume permeated greater or less than the chemical toxicity limit?

Volume ToxicityPermeated < Limit = SAFE

Volume ToxicityPermeated > Limit

= NOT SAFE

Such analysis should only be undertaken by qualified personnel and wide safety margins should be allowed as information is often limited, permeation times vary with temperature and exposure limits may be uncertain, variable or not available.

What is thespray type?

The task may suggest a choice of fabric and garment design.?

CE Types are a good guide to the different types of chemical contact and a clear indication of garment choice.

TYPE 1

The physical demands of a task, such as climbing ladders, crawling or working in confined spaces, especially if the chemical is highly toxic, might suggest higher strength fabric or a specific design, even though permeation analysis and/or the hazard spray type indicate a lighter/more comfortable garment. For a summary of typical physical factors affecting garment choice. (see page 25).

Physical factors such as strenuous work?

Liquid would normally suggest a Type 3 or 4 hazard. However, some chemicals have low boiling points, becoming vapour at low temperatures.In such cases a gas-tight suit might be appropriate. Such information can be obtained from Material Safety Data Sheets.

A ‘non-barrier’ fabric such as SMS (SafeGard®) or microporous film laminate (MicroMax®) with simple suit design (serged seams / basic zip flap). In some cases a higher spec (Type 4 to 1) garment might be appropriate.

For example:- a liquid aerosol or dust concentrated in a high volume or poorly ventilated area.

Or if the chemical is highly toxic or dangerous so the consequences of minor contamination are greater.

The EN 14605 standard defines two different levels of liquid spray protection: Type 3 & 4.

Most garments on the market are Type 3 and 4.

Each type is tested with a distinct finished garment spray test. (see panel below)

By identifying that your application is Type 4 only (rather than Type 3) allows more options for garment design choice and enables a greater level of comfort.

EN 14605

• Strong, directional jets of liquid spray• Results in intense, local pressure on

fabric, seams and joins.• Back-spray will penetrate under, up

or behind any loose flaps or joins• Single nozzle spraying jets of liquid

are sprayed at “potential” weak areas in suit(eg, seams, crotch, zip flap etc.)

• Demands full coverall design with fully sealed seams and effective front fastening.

EN 14605 - Type 3 : “jet” sprays• Wider, less pressurised liquid sprays.• Results in saturation of fabric (so sealed seams required) but no pressure on garment, seams or joins.• No risk of backspray penetrating under, up or behind loose flaps or joins.• Four nozzles with general overspray of liquid.

• Allows more flexible and more comfortable design options.

The tables below compare Lakeland fabrics with common equivalent brands.

The tables show that for the majority of physical factors Lakeland options have superior or similar properties to the main alternatives.

Various physical properties may be more critical in different applications.

Higher tear resistance indicates a softer fabric with greater stretch properties, resulting in a more comfortable garment.

Where required properties are similar, selection can be based on other factors such as permeation resistance, garment features and comfort.

Physical properties can be enhanced by design.For example, Lakeland ChemMax® 1 and 3 garments feature cushioned knee-pads.

Physical Properties Testing Glossary

These fabric tests are a standard requirement of certification to chemical protective clothing standards.

Abrasion ResistanceFabric is abraded by a rotating disc with a set force applied. Measured in cycles required to cause damage. Reflects resistance to rubbing or general wear.

Flex Cracking ResistanceFabric is repeatedly flexed between two opposing grips. Measured in cycles required to cause “cracking” or damage. Reflects resistance to general wear.

Trapezoidal Tear ResistanceMeasures the force required to continue a “tear” in the fabric edge. Measured in Newtons (N) and in machine and cross fabric directions. Reflects resistance to damage from sharp points and edges.

Tensile StrengthMeasures the force required to tear the fabric with opposing, increasing force. Measured in Newtons (N) and in machine and cross fabric direction.Reflects basic fabric strength.

CD or MD?Some tests are undertaken in cross (CD) and machine (MD) directions. CD is across the width of the fabric roll. MD is along its length. In most fabrics more fibres tend to orient in the machine direction so MD tends to be stronger.

Puncture ResistanceMeasures the force required to hole the fabric with a spike with increasing pressure applied. Measured in Newtons (N). Reflects resistance to damage by sharp points and edges.

Anti-Static (Electrostatic Surface Resistance)Measures the tendency of the fabric to resist surface dissipation of an electrostatic charge (i.e. a lower resistance allows a charge to dissipate and go to earth). Measured in ohms(Ω). Requires maximum of 2.5 x 109 Ω. Important for garments used in potentially flammable atmospheres. If resistance is high a charge may build to the point of discharge in the form of an igniting spark.

Seam StrengthMeasures force required to burst a seam using an increasing opposing force. Measured in Newtons (N). Reflective of garment construction strength.
