Chemical protection clothing refers to specialized clothing designed to protect individuals from exposure to hazardous chemicals. These garments are made from materials that can resist the permeation and penetration of chemical substances, such as acids, alkalis, solvents, and other hazardous materials.

Chemical protection clothing is used in various industries where workers may come into contact with hazardous chemicals, such as manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and research laboratories. These garments may include coveralls, gloves, aprons, boots, and other protective gear that can be worn over regular clothing.

Chemical protection clothing is typically classified based on its level of protection against different types of chemicals. There are different standards for chemical protective clothing depending on the type of hazard and the degree of protection required. These standards may include EN 374, ASTM F739, and NFPA 1991.

It is important to select the appropriate type of chemical protection clothing based on the specific chemicals and hazards present in a given work environment. Proper training and education on the use and maintenance of chemical protection clothing is also crucial for ensuring maximum protection and minimizing the risk of chemical exposure.
