Heavy-Duty Chemical Protection for Demanding Work Environments
Chemical Resistant Rain Pants are built for professionals working in high-risk environments like refineries, chemical plants, and hazardous material handling. These pants provide essential protection against chemical spills, acid exposure, and other industrial hazards, making them ideal for environmental engineers and oil industry workers. Designed with a 10X10 reinforced crotch for added durability, these rain pants offer unparalleled strength to withstand the toughest conditions.
Superior Construction with Double PVC Coating
Made from high tensile strength polyester and double-coated with two layers of PVC, these chemical-resistant pants ensure long-lasting protection with a combined thickness of 0.42mm. The double-taped seams and non-conductive snaps further enhance their durability and safety, ensuring that every part of the pants is designed to resist tears, leaks, and other wear and tear. Whether working with hazardous chemicals or facing severe weather conditions, these pants provide the peace of mind you need.
Performance & Safety Standards
These pants are manufactured in compliance with ASTM F739-07, the gold standard for testing the permeation resistance of protective clothing materials. The dual PVC-coated fabric has demonstrated reliable performance when exposed to various chemicals, including:
| Chemical Tested | Result / Resistance |
|---|---|
| Sulfuric Acid (98%) | Excellent Resistance |
| Nitric Acid (70%) | Excellent Resistance |
| Hydrochloric Acid (37%) | Pass |
| Sodium Hydroxide (70%) | Pass |
| Sodium Hypochlorite | Pass |
| Formaldehyde (37%) | Pass |
| Kerosene | Pass |
| Mineral Spirits | Pass |
| Methyl Ethyl Ketone | Not Recommended |
| Methylene Chloride | Not Recommended |
| Styrene | Not Recommended |
⚠️ Note: Not suitable for organic solvents like methylene chloride, toluene, or styrene. Always check compatibility data before use in specific applications.

FAQ – Chemical Resistant Rain Pants
What industries benefit most from these pants?
These pants are ideal for chemical manufacturing, oil and gas refineries, wastewater treatment, laboratory environments, and hazmat response operations, where exposure to corrosive liquids or acids is common.
Are these pants comfortable for long wear?
Yes. Despite their heavy-duty protection, the flexible PVC and polyester blend allows for comfortable movement, while the adjustable waistband and elastic cuffs ensure a secure, ergonomic fit during extended shifts.
Can these pants be worn over other garments?
Absolutely. They’re designed to be worn over uniforms or coveralls as part of a complete PPE ensemble, offering protection without restricting mobility or breathability.
How do I clean or maintain the pants?
Wipe the PVC surface with mild soap and water, and allow them to dry before storage. Always decontaminate after exposure to hazardous substances, following site-specific safety procedures.
Do these pants provide electrical protection?
They feature non-conductive snaps, but are not rated as electrical PPE. They should not be used for electrical arc or shock protection.
What is the expected lifespan of these pants?
With proper care and decontamination, the Chemical Resistant Rain Pants maintain integrity and chemical resistance over extended use, depending on frequency and exposure intensity.
