Chemical Protection Clothing

Chemical protection clothing is special clothing used to protect the body by preventing exposure to hazardous chemicals such as acids, alkalis and organic chemicals, or various other gas, liquid or particulate matter causing bodily harm. The clothing is used to prevent health hazards caused by skin contact or transdermal absorption while working. As well as reusable varieties, chemical protection clothing also comes in disposable varieties used to prevent the spread of hazardous substances. The disposable materials used include special high-density polyethylene materials with high barrier properties, wear-resistant SMS (a material made of non-woven melt-blown polypropylene sandwiched between layers of non-woven spun-bond polypropylene), film laminates with superior water repellency or moisture permeability, and polymer coatings with superior permeation resistance. The protection level of protective clothing is ranked from Level A to Level D. Clothing with the right style and material for the work environment and conditions should be worn.
