FAQ – Chemical Resistant Rain Jacket
1. Is this jacket suitable for use with all chemicals?
No. While the jacket offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, and many industrial chemicals, it is not suitable for certain solvents such as methylene chloride, styrene, or toluene. Always review chemical exposure data before use.
2. What does ASTM F739-07 certification mean?
ASTM F739-07 is a recognized test method that measures the permeation resistance of protective clothing materials to liquid and gaseous chemicals. This ensures verified performance under real-world exposure conditions.
3. Can the jacket be worn over other PPE?
Yes. The jacket is designed for layering and can be comfortably worn over coveralls, thermal wear, or other PPE garments without restricting movement.
4. Is the jacket flameproof?
It provides limited flame resistance due to its PVC composition, but it is not a substitute for flame-resistant (FR) garments in high-heat or fire-risk environments.
5. How should I clean or decontaminate the jacket?
Simply wipe the PVC surface with mild detergent and water. Always follow site-specific decontamination protocols after chemical exposure.
6. What industries benefit most from this jacket?
It is ideal for chemical handling, oil and gas, wastewater treatment, laboratory work, agricultural chemical spraying, and hazardous waste cleanup.
