Chemical protection is a primary concern for workers handling potentially hazardous substances. No material is entirely impervious to all chemicals, and a garment's resistance to a particular chemical varies according to many factors. Elements such as the type of chemical, the rate of exposure and the tasks performed by workers are crucial when choosing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Some substances, such as ammonia, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and oils, can penetrate protective clothing in a matter of seconds. In contrast, others will take days or even weeks to penetrate. This diversity of reactions underlines the importance of choosing the right garments for each specific situation.

All our chemical protective clothing is certified to ASTM F903, a specific standard defining the resistance of PPE materials to liquid penetration. This test method is essential for assessing the effectiveness of barriers against liquid penetration through materials.

In addition, seam sealing is a crucial element in providing maximum protection for workers. Sealed seams guarantee enhanced protection, preventing chemicals from seeping through the weak points of chemical protection garments.

The diversity of chemical substances encountered in different work environments underlines the importance of selecting appropriate PPE to ensure workers' safety in the face of these hazards.
