FAQ – H3O Acid Jacket & Pants (Chemical-Resistant Suit)
What chemicals does the H3O Acid Jacket & Pants protect against?
This suit provides reliable protection against a wide range of corrosive chemicals, including sulfuric acid (98%), nitric acid (70%), hydrochloric acid (37%), hydrofluoric acid (48%), sodium hydroxide (70%), sodium hypochlorite, ethanolamine, mineral spirits, kerosene, hexanes, styrene, and more. It meets ASTM F739-07 permeation standards and delivers long breakthrough times—for example, 150 minutes against 98% sulfuric acid and 420 minutes against 70% nitric acid—making it suitable for demanding chemical-handling tasks.
Is this suit flame resistant?
Yes. The PVC/Nylon/PVC construction is treated to comply with ASTM D6413, providing secondary flame resistance. While the suit is not a substitute for primary flame-resistant apparel, it is designed to resist ignition and reduce burn severity when working near flash or heat hazards.
What type of work environments is this suit recommended for?
The H3O chemical suit is ideal for industrial, manufacturing, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and hazmat-related operations. It meets Level C protective guidelines and is well-suited for environments with potential exposure to corrosive liquids, chemical splash hazards, or secondary fire risks.
How is the suit designed to prevent chemical penetration?
Multiple design elements ensure secure coverage, including an attached hood with drawstring, a storm flap with non-conductive buttons, snap-secured sleeves, and bib-style pants with suspenders. These features work together to minimize openings and create a tight barrier against chemical entry.
Is the suit reusable?
Yes. This acid-resistant jacket and pants are designed for multiple uses when properly cleaned and inspected after each wear. The .43 mm PVC/Nylon/PVC material maintains durability over repeated use, making it a cost-effective option for hazardous work environments.
What sizes are available?
The suit accommodates a wide range of body types with sizes available from M through 7XL, ensuring coverage and comfort for most workers.
Does the suit protect against all chemicals listed?
The suit passes permeation standards for most corrosives and solvents listed but does not pass against certain high-penetration chemicals such as 1,2 dichloroethane, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methylene chloride, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Always verify chemical compatibility before use.
