EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of TS 9720 test. The General Purpose Lacquer Thinner Test is a method used to determine the resistance of safety shoes to certain chemicals as specified in the CAN/CGSB-1.110-M91 standard. The test aims to simulate exposure to chemicals commonly encountered in the workplace, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and cleaning agents.
During the test, the shoe is immersed in a mixture of chemicals and water for a certain period of time. The mixture consists of equal parts of the tested chemical and water at a maximum concentration of 25% by volume. The shoe is then dried and inspected for any signs of damage or deterioration.
The purpose of the test is to ensure that the safety shoe meets the chemical resistance requirements specified in the standard. The test is especially important for workers who may be exposed to chemicals in the workplace, such as those working in the automotive or manufacturing industries.
It requires safety shoes to be tested for resistance to a range of chemicals, including hydrocarbons, acids and alkalis. The General Purpose Lacquer Thinner Test is just one of several tests used to evaluate the chemical resistance of safety shoes.
In addition to the General Purpose Lacquer Thinner Test, other tests used to evaluate the chemical resistance of protective footwear include the Chemical Penetration Test and the Chemical Permeability Test. These tests are designed to simulate exposure to certain chemicals and to evaluate the shoe's ability to resist the penetration or penetration of these chemicals.
The General Purpose Lacquer Thinner Test is an important tool for assessing the chemical resistance of safety footwear in the workplace. The test ensures that safety shoes meet a range of chemical resistance requirements, helping to reduce the risk of injury or illness for workers who may be exposed to these chemicals during their work.
