EN 13034 \u2013 Protection Against Liquid Chemicals (Type 6)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Overview<\/strong>
\nEN 13034 defines the requirements for materials and garments offering limited protection against small liquid chemical splashes. It is suitable for low-risk chemical exposure in environments where full chemical barrier protection is not needed.<\/p>\n

This standard is applicable to both protective garments and the fabrics used in their construction. It evaluates a fabric’s repellency and resistance to penetration by light sprays and splashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
