Chemical protective clothing is selected by comparing its capabilities and limitations to the hazards and required tasks. It is important to remember that no material is completely chemical resistant, and no material is effective for all chemicals. This module will describe important factors for selecting appropriate chemical protective clothing.
• List and describe chemical protective clothing selection criteria
• Define penetration, degradation, permeation, permeation rate, and breakthrough time
• Describe how chemical resistance is quantified
• List and describe important physical properties of protective clothing
