THE PREMIER REFERENCE ON CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
The Sixth Edition of the Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing has been updated to include approximately 1,000 chemicals/chemical brands or mixture of chemicals.
The color–coded recommendations now contain 27 representative barrier materials. We believe these barrier listings include a wide range of gloves and suits on the market. To reflect today′s requirements and standards, several sections of the guide have been revised significantly.
This bestselling pocket guide is an essential field source for spill responders, safety professionals, chemists and chemical engineers, industrial hygienists, supervisors, purchase agents, and sales people/users of chemical protective clothing.
