Chemical Resistance Chart
This chart is designed to assist the user to make the correct choice of personal protective equipment. Actual conditions of end use are not simulated and it is the responsibility of the user to determine the risk and make the appropriate choice for protection against such risk. It is always best to perform on the job testing. The effects of certain chemicals on skin can be referenced by our Skin Hazard Data chart.
The manufacturer, the distributor, and the
sales agent accept no
responsibility for a
user's selection against particular risk.
