| Index of Codes: > = Greater Than, Imm = Immediate (<10 Minutes), NT = Not Tested Chemical warfare agents are tested according to the following protocols: (*) Protocol DN3-MIL-STD-282, Method T-209 (HD) or modified for Lewisite, for 12 hours at 10 g/m2 (†) Protocol DN4-MIL-STD-282, Method T-209 (HD) or modified for Lewisite, for 12 hours at 100 g/m2 (total coverage) (‡) Protocol DN5-MIL-STD-282, Method T-208 (GB) or modified for GA,GD and VX, for 12 hours at 10 g/m2 (#) Protocol DN6-MIL-STD-282, Method T-208 (GB) or modified for GA, GD and VX, for 12 hours at 100 g/m2 (total coverage) All tests are performed at 22°C and 50% R.H. Actual breakthrough times, in minutes, are reported. Normalized Breakthrough Time (NBT) shown in minutes. (**) Actual Breakthrough time in minutes; standardized breakthrough time not available. NOTE: Numbers reported are averages of samples tested. Sample results vary. All DuPont™ testing is performed by a third party. Permeation testing on industrial chemicals is in accordance with ASTM F739, "Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Continuous Contact." All tests are conducted at a room temperature unless otherwise noted. Reported results are normalized breakthrough times defined by ASTM F739 as the time (in minutes) when the permeation rate reaches 0.1 ug/cm2/min.

| TO FIND PERMEATION TEST RESULTS 1. Locate the desired chemical in the Chemical Index. The Chemical Index is presented in 2 ways: • Alphabetical Index • Index by Chemical Abstract System (CAS) Number For each chemical, the following information is listed. • Chemical name • Chemical subclass number(s) • CAS number • Chemical name used in data table if name listed is a synonym • Whether the chemical has been tested (T) or not tested (NT) on TychemR Limited-Use and/or TychemR Reusable Fabrics 2. Locate the subclass(es) of the chemical in the permeation data table(s). There are 2 separate data tables, 1 for limited use fabrics, and 1 for reusable fabrics. 3. If the chemical has been tested, find the chemical name under its sub-class(es) and read across to find the permeation test results for the chemical. Example: If an application has contact with chlorine and depending on exposure time, the minimum garment coverage could be a TychemR SL.
