NOTE:

Fabric permeation data is used as the basis for garment recommendations for hazardous liquids (either spray or jet exposures) and hazardous vapors. Unless otherwise noted, permeation testing was conducted at room temperature, approximately 20-27° C (68-81° F). An increase in temperatures in your work environment, either ambient or of the hazard, may reduce the barrier performance of the fabric.<br><br>There are additional hazards that are not considered in this selector tool including, but not limited to: asphyxiation, extreme heat or cold environments or hazards, physical hazards (such as cut, puncture and abrasion), slipping, falling and visibility.

CAUTION:

The wearer of the chemical garment should move out of the way of a jet exposure as quickly as possible. Garment protection information provided is based on limited initial exposure to a jet of the liquid chemical, not to continuous contact for an extended period of time.DuPont assumes no responsibility or liability for suit selection based on incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information and which does not consider all hazards.I HAVE REVIEWED THE INPUT INFORMATION AND IT IS CORRECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION OR INFORMATION WHICH DOES NOT CONSIDER ALL HAZARDS MAY RESULT IN AN INCORRECT SUIT RECOMMENDATION. I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL HAZARDS PRESENT FOR WHICH THIS SELECTION MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE.

One or more of your liquid hazards has a boiling point between 60-90° F (16-32° C) and may produce vapors in your working environment. Please read this notice and select the appropriate physical state for your hazards.

If the temperature of your working environment is close to or above the boiling point of your hazard, you may have vapor hazards, in addition to liquid hazards, in your working environment. If your hazard produces vapors that are skin contact hazards, select "Liquid and Vapor" as the Physical State Anticipated. This selection will lead you to a Level A suit. Only Level A suits provide skin vapor protection.

If the concentration of the vapor can be monitored in the working environment and can be proven to be lower than the permissible exposure level (PEL) and/or recommended exposure level (REL) for skin contact, or if the vapor is known to be non-hazardous via skin contact, select "Liquid Only" as the Physical State Anticipated.

If the hazard physical state is uncertain, select "Liquid and Vapor" for maximum protection. If you have questions or concerns, please Contact Us for assistance.

• If you see your hazard in the drop down list, make sure you are selecting the hazard from the drop down list before clicking "Add to List".
• If you do not see your hazard listed,check the spelling and try again. You may also want to try the CAS number (located on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)). You may be searching by a synonym name that is not recognized in our database
• If after searching by CAS number you still do not see your hazard listed, you may want to try Guide

The hazard you selected was tested in the liquid phase at the temperature stated above. If the ambient temperature of your working environment is greater than this temperature, you may have both liquid and gas/vapor hazards. Consider adding the gaseous phase hazard (below) to your list.

CAUTION:

The hazards that you list for your hazard scenario must be used independently of each other in the work environment. This tool does not evaluate chemical reactions or have the ability to recognize multiple chemicals as ingredients in a chemical mixture.
Do not use this form to list ingredients for a chemical mixture. Chemical mixtures behave differently than the individual constituents. Do not make the assumption that a fabric will provide protection if it shows barrier protection against the most hazardous ingredient. If one ingredient is able to permeate the fabric, it may pull other ingredients through the fabric as well.

Your hazard scenario did not produce any results.May we suggest : 

• If you are searching multiple hazards at one time, try breaking your search into separate hazards by either creating a new scenario or unchecking Hazards in the pane to the left. SafeSPEC™ is trying to find one garment that can be used for all of your hazards. You may need to consider more than one garment.
• If you have a liquid or vapor chemical hazard, try searching the Chemical Resistance Database. This database will show you permeation data for all of the fabrics tested against a given hazard. Once you are able to determine a suitable fabric, you will have the flexibility of selecting a suitable garment design and seam construction yourself.
• If you answered "yes" to the question that you are working in an environment that requires flame resistant clothing, please note that although DuPont has several garment options for scenarios involving possible industrial fire or electric arc exposures as well as chemical exposure hazards, these garments may not have been tested against the specific chemical hazard(s) that you have selected or may have breakthrough times lower than your intended work duration. If possible, try to mitigate the need for flame resistant clothing by implementing engineering controls, work practices and administrative controls before resorting to protective clothing. Additionally, try breaking your search into separate hazards as suggested above in order to find garment options to meet your needs.
• If you selected "localized to the feet" for the direction of exposure question, you may want to consider chemical resistant boots instead of purchasing a full garment. DuPont does not manufacture or sell chemical resistant boots. However, we do offer some coveralls and encapsulated suits with attached socks. These socks can be worn as an extra layer of protection inside of chemical resistant boots.
