Chemical Splash Standards
Chemical Splash Standard
Workers who must work around chemicals know how dangerous they can be and how very important it is to be protected at an appropriate level as indicated by MSDS sheets. Chemical burns are not only expensive to recover from, they can be deadly. It is the purpose of splash protective apparel to reduce this hazardous chemical exposure to direct skin.
There are two different ways to determine the protective ability of a material from which splash protective apparel is made: permeation resistance testing and penetration resistance testing NASCO chemical splash resistant products offer protection from chemical penetration which is different from chemical permeation.
