POSEIDON-245 fr fabric updated EN 13034 certificate

May 2020, our flame retardant fabric Poseidon-245 has been certified for EN 13034:2005+A1:2009 (Protection clothing against liquid chemicals).
EN 13034 Standard includes fabric testing in various ways to determine its physical parameters and resistance to chemicals. There were 4 chemical compounds (H2SO4, NaOH, n-heptane and isopropanol) used for the testing.
According to standard EN 13034 Poseidon-245 has been successfully passed all the following tests:
