Hazmat, Chemical & Arc Protection Suits

Chemical Protective Clothing

There are many chemicals which can cause adverse effects on unprotected skin ranging from contact
dermatitis to permeation of the skin and systemic toxic effects. In addition, some chemicals (mostly
solids) can present a contamination problem where inadvertent ingestion (e.g., lead) could occur
or re-entrainment in the airstream (e.g., asbestos) could lead to inhalation. Chemical protective
clothing (CPC), comprising gloves, boots, suits, and other related components, can prevent direct
skin contact and contamination. CPC can also prevent physical injury to the unprotected skin from
thermal hazards such as from rapidly evaporating liquefied gases freezing the skin (e.g., LPG).
