PERMASURE®
by Lakeland What is Permasure?
Permasure is an easy-to-use app which, in simple terms, calculates safe- wear times for chemical suits based on real-world conditions and the dermal toxicity of the specific chemical. It provides users with a much clearer understanding of how long a chemical suit can be safely worn to ensure harmful volumes of a chemical will not contaminate the wearer.
Advanced molecular modelling technology is the answer.
At the heart of Permasure is the unique molecular modelling technology originally developed in response to the need for more effective CWA protection. Permeation of a chemical through a barrier, such as chemical suit fabric, is a well-understood physical process; molecular modelling techniques can accurately predict the rate and volume of permeation, even adjusting for the effect of temperature and real-world parameters.
Permasure calculates how much of a chemical may permeate over time and, combined with a database of over 4000 chemicals, including essential hazard data, uses known dermal toxicity limits to enable access to instant safe-wear times for Lakeland chemical suits ChemMax 3, ChemMax 4 Plus and Interceptor Plus
How does it work?
A user-friendly interface allows for selection of garment, input of temperature and exposure time, and finally, selection of the chemical. The user is immediately provided with essential hazard and toxicity information. Then with one more click, within seconds, Permasure advises if it’s safe to wear the suit or if you may reach a hazardous level of contamination in less than the exposure time. In which case, you can then choose a different suit or reduce the time you may be exposed.
Chemical protection currently relies on limited and often misinterpreted test data. As a result, wearers of chemical suits may not be protected effectively and the long-term health consequences, particularly with chemicals that have only chronic effects, could be catastrophic. Permasure provides an opportunity to introduce more effective protection, better planning and management of safety during tasks involving hazardous chemicals, and greater confidence that teams are protected as they should be.

PROTECTOR LIGHT 2.0 FORESTRY BOOT
by HAIX HAIX has put its best foot forward with the Protector Light 2.0 forestry boot, which helps forestry and outdoor workers make light work of seasonal tasks by ensuring their footwear offers high levels of protection, reliability and comfort. The Board of Trustees for Forestry and Forest Technology has certified that the Protector Light 2.0 achieves the KWF-Level Standard, guaranteeing the boots satisfy all safety aspects in full based on national criteria.
Building on over 60 years of protective footwear expertise, the HAIX Protector Light 2.0 forestry boot is an example of the manufacturer’s commitment to balancing safety and protection with wearer comfort. Constructed from high-quality materials including oiled Nubuk leather, the boot is certified to the S3 standard (EN ISO 20345:2011), ensuring a high degree of water- resistance, toe protection, antistatic properties and enhanced midsole-penetration resistance. The Protector Light 2.0 is further certified with Class 1 Cut protection, providing added safety to outdoor and forestry workers.
The new sole unit on the Protector Light 2.0 provides improved slip resistance and durability while decreasing overall boot weight. The Protector Light 2.0 also works to maintain an optimum foot temperature, with the HAIX Climate System using the pumping movement of every step to circulate cool air into the boot via vent holes in the top. The anatomically formed footbed absorbs moisture and dries quickly, keeping feet dry and fresh throughout a long day’s wear.
