ComfortSafe Chemical Resistant Rain Jacket with Hood
ComfortSafe S389 is a heavy-duty PVC rain jacket for wet industrial work and incidental chemical splash where the supplied garment's chemical compatibility has been confirmed. PVC coating on both sides of a reinforced fabric provides a substantial outer layer. An attached hood and covered front closure help extend coverage during outdoor tasks.
Key Features
- Double-sided PVC coating over reinforcing fabric.
- Attached hood.
- Storm flap covers the front closure.
- Separate jacket allows selection of compatible lower-body protection.
- Material tested to ASTM D6413 for flame-response characteristics.
Applications
Consider for facility maintenance, sewer and water operations, sanitation and outdoor industrial work. For incidental chemical splash, select the garment only after checking compatibility with the substance, concentration and exposure conditions.
Reported Chemical Breakthrough Times
ASA reports these ASTM F739-07 laboratory permeation results from supplier information:
- Sulfuric acid, 98%: 150 minutes.
- Nitric acid, 70%: 420 minutes.
Confirm that these results apply to the supplied garment before chemical use. Breakthrough times are laboratory measurements, not safe wearing times or permission for continuous chemical contact. Concentration, temperature, seams, closures and exposure conditions affect garment selection.
Liquid penetration and permeation are different measurements. ASTM F739 results do not establish resistance to every chemical. Review the applicable chemical-resistance documentation and workplace assessment before selecting this jacket for a specific exposure.
ASA-Reported Chemical Test Results
ASA provides the following supplier results. The test method, duration and pass criteria for this list are unspecified here. Confirm the applicable report for the supplied garment; “Pass” does not establish universal chemical suitability or safe contact time.
| Chemical | Reported Result |
|---|---|
| Hydrochloric Acid (37%) | Pass |
| Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) | Pass |
| Sodium Hydroxide (70%) | Pass |
| Sodium Hypochlorite | Pass |
| Formaldehyde (37%) | Pass |
| Acetonitrile | Pass |
| Ethyl Acrylate | Pass |
| Hexanes | Pass |
| Kerosene | Pass |
| Mineral Spirits (Naphtha) | Pass |
| Methyl Ethyl Ketone | Fail |
| Methylene Chloride | Fail |
| 1,2-Dichloroethane | Fail |
| Styrene | Fail |
| Toluene | Fail |
| 1,1,1-Trichloroethane | Fail |
Do not select this jacket for chemicals listed as Fail. Unlisted chemicals require separate evaluation.
Understand the Flame Test
ASTM D6413 evaluates a material's response to a specified flame test. It does not establish arc-flash or flash-fire protection for this jacket. Do not select S389 for those hazards based on this test reference. Follow the garment label and your site's protective-clothing requirements.
Fit and Care
Use the general size chart as guidance. Check fit over working layers and inspect seams, coating and closures before use. Follow supplied cleaning and decontamination instructions. Replace compromised garments. An attached hood does not replace required eye, face or respiratory protective equipment.
Compare rain pants and bibs for compatible lower-body coverage.
