Important Instructions This guidebook contains information on hazardous chemicals and recommendations for the selection of chemical protective clothing materials based on published and unpublished scientific test data. NO attempt has been made to ensure either the accuracy or precision of these compiled data. The guide also does not take into consideration the intended use or physical demands (resistance to tear, puncture resistance, etc.) of the chemical protective clothing. These factors are critical in the selection process. ALL selections based on this guide MUST be reviewed by a person competent in the selection of chemical protective clothing, such as a certified industrial hygienist or a certified safety professional with training in this area.

Preface The fourth edition of the Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing has been revised significantly, including 100 new chemicals and approximately 1000 more selection recommendations compared to the previous edition. The increased number of chemicals has also resulted in creation of several new chemical classes. The chemical index now includes 700 chemicals, additional synonyms, CAS numbers, risk codes and special notations to alert the user, to those chemicals which may be of most concern for worker protection. A change in the Chemical Index is classifications of chemicals into two different functional groups, where appropriate. A subsection of Chemical Warfare Agents has also been included in this edition. The color-coded tables of recommendations containing 16 representative protective clothing materials have been updated by replacing two of the barriers with the Viton/Butyl and PE/PA/PE laminates. We believe these barrier listings now include a wider range of gloves, boots, and suits on the market. The selection recommendations are now organized in 90 chemical classes plus a designated chemical class on Chemical Warfare Agents.

Other changes include an expanded glossary, updated list of standards for chemical protective clothing, and updated information on manufacturers. The section on manufacturers has also been improved to include information on the specific type of barrier material used in their products, and includes registered trade names and web addresses for easy access to information. It is hoped by the authors that this revised edition will receive the same enthusiastic response as the prior editions in assisting supervisors, industrial hygiene and safety professionals, and others who select or use personal protective clothing for control of chemical exposures to protect workers using the “last line of defense.” Hazardous materials spill responders and other emergency response personnel should find this guide especially useful.

SECTION I

Introduction The intent of the Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing is to assist workers, supervisors, safety and health professionals, spill responders, industrial hygienists, and others in the initial selection of protective clothing materials against specific chemical challenges on the job. This is accomplished by use of the color-coded tables that summarize the chemical breakthrough performance of 16 common barrier materials against 700 chemicals organized in 90 chemical classes. This guide is only a summary of data and should not be the sole basis for the final selection of the chemical protective clothing. More complete and comprehensive information of tested products and test reports are contained in the following publications:

The Chemical Protective Clothing Site also announces updates of publications or other information of significant interest. As noted in the preface, it is important to contact the manufacturers for the latest test results (see Section VII). The Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing also provides users with knowledge about the permeation process and other factors that adversely affect protective clothing. In addition, this Guide also contains a discussion on the selection and use of protective clothing. Finally, a glossary of terms common to chemical protective clothing and related health and safety terminology and a section on relevant standards for chemical protective clothing has been included to assist the users of the Guide.

Rational for Selecting Chemical Protective Clothing All chemicals, including water and table salt, present some level of risk to workers. In large part, this level of risk is deter-

mined by the amount of the chemical that is inhaled, absorbed, ingested, injected, or otherwise contacts or enters the body (the dose) and the inherent toxicity of the chemical. Inhalation hazards have traditionally been of greatest concern; however, dermal (skin) hazards are much more common. There are many types and degrees of dermal hazard. Chemicals that can damage the skin (i.e., corrosives), cause a reaction (i.e., sensitizers and irritants), or produce toxicity by permeation through the skin present dermal hazards. The purpose of chemical protective clothing is the prevention of contact with chemicals potentially hazardous to the skin, thus lowering the risk of injury or illness. Chemical protective clothing ranges in complexity from simple finger cots to fully encapsulating gas-tight suits. Although a wide variety of well-designed and constructed products are available, research has shown that toxic chemicals can easily pass through or damage some of these clothing materials and have direct contact with the skin and/or be absorbed into the blood. This led to a considerable amount of research by chemical protective clothing manufacturers, users of chemical protective clothing, researchers, and others to find the materials of 2

construction best suited for specific chemical challenges. This work largely began in 1981, when Henry and Schlatter published an article* on “The Development of a Standard Test Method for Evaluating Chemical Protective Clothing to Permeation by Liquids.” Henry and Schlatter developed a specific permeation test cell (Figure 1). The method and the test cell were adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials’ (ASTM) committee as Standard Test Method F739 in 1981. Most of the material testing has been conducted using the ASTM F739-99, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Continuous Contact or previous versions of this test method from the ASTM. This laboratory test method provides both a breakthrough time and a steady-state permeation rate based on direct contact of the challenge liquid or gas with the normal outside surface of the protective material. The breakthrough time is the time to the first indication of the presence of the test liquid or gas in the collection media on the other side *Henry, N.W. and C.N. Schlatter, “The Development of a Standard Test Method for Evaluating Chemical Protective Clothing to Permeation by Liquids,” American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, Vol. 42, March 1981, pp. 202–207.

(normal inside surface) of the test material. Thus, the data given in this guide are based on laboratory tests of either degradation or permeation. The recommendations are not based on actual use of the materials as protective clothing. Nevertheless, if the glove, boot, or suit is not damaged and has no defects, the laboratory test data should be equal to the worst-case chemical challenge in the work environment.

How to Use This Guide A three-step process in this guide completes the selection of the barriers offering the best chemical resistance. First, the chemical name or synonym is found in the alphabetically sorted CHEMICAL INDEX. The second step is to use the Chemical Class Number, which appears to the left of the chemical name to search the SELECTION RECOMMENDATIONS. This section is in numeric order by chemical class. The final step is to find the chemical within the class listing and note the colorcoded recommendations by barrier material. For example, to find the recommendations for protection from acetone, the user

must first find the chemical class number in the Chemical Index section (Section III). We find the chemical acetone listed on the first page of the CHEMICAL INDEX. This listing shows a class number of 391. This is the chemical class for Ketones (aliphatic or alicyclic) under the ASTM F-1186, Standard Classification System for Chemicals According to Functional Groups. This listing also shows the chemical abstract service (CAS) number assigned to acetone as 67-64-1. The main purpose for listing the unique CAS number is to be sure that this chemical is the one that we are interested in and not another chemical by a similar name. The next column under acetone lists the “Risk Code.” For acetone, it is listed as a “V.” This means that the chemical has received a designation of “potentially harmful” based on the Official Gazette of the European Community’s “Guide to Classification and Marking of Hazardous Substances.” This is the lowest level of warning under this classification scheme (i.e., least potentially hazardous). There are no special notes for acetone. The next step is to go to the SELECTION RECOMMENDATIONS section and find chemical class number 391. Acetone is listed first within this group. Reading the color codes from left to right, we find eight recommended barriers (color coded green) with eight barriers that are not recommended 4

(color coded red). Natural rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile rubber, Polyethylene, Polyvinyl alcohol, Polyvinyl chloride, Viton, and Tychem SL are not recommended for use against acetone. Butyl rubber, Viton/Butyl Rubber, Barrier, Silver Shield/4H, Responder, Trellchem HPS, and Tychem BR/LV and Tychem TK are recommended for at least 8 hours of breakthrough resistance.

SECTION II

Selection and Use of Chemical Protective Clothing Introduction to Some Important Terms The guide includes information based on permeation data. Permeation is the diffusion of a chemical on a molecular basis through chemical protective clothing. This movement of the chemical through the protective material may not be readily noticeable because it occurs on a molecular or microscopic level. This process is represented by the illustration shown in Figure 2. The time it takes the chemical to pass through the protective material until it is first detected by an analytical instrument is called the breakthrough time. The test for perme-

ation and breakthrough time is represented by the illustration in Figure 3. The rate or speed of the movement of the chemical through the protective material, once it has broken through, is called the permeation rate. In theory, this rate reaches steady state after a period of time, assuming the gradient (difference in concentration on both sides of the barrier) continues to exist. The effect the chemical has as it interacts with the material can range from no effect to an effect as severe as dissolving the material. The change in the physical properties of the material as a result of adverse effects of the chemical is called degradation. A representation of degradation is shown in Figure 4. 7

The guide does not include any consideration of manufacturer defects or user-caused damages. Tears, rips, pinholes, and other damage or manufacturing defects can result in penetration of the chemical through these openings no matter how resistant the

material is to the chemical challenge. Penetration is defined as the bulk flow of chemical (not on a molecular basis) through the protective material. A representation of penetration is shown in Figure 5. Penetration may not be visible to the naked eye. 8

Selection and Use of Protective Clothing Chemical protective clothing (CPC) selection is a process governed by a number of factors. Some uses of protective clothing that

involve unique situations or very serious hazards will require a detailed analysis of the tasks to be completed and perhaps expert assistance. In all cases, it is the risk to the user that will govern the selection. The general process for selection can be simply stated. The seven key factors to be determined in the selection process are as follows: 9

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Determining if the job can be done without CPC Determining the type of exposure most likely to occur Determining the adverse effects of contact with the chemical Determining the physical resistance properties required Determining the chemical resistance properties required Determining the human factors required Determining the cost of use

Determining the type of exposure most likely to occur is important in the selection of CPC. A job where the contact is likely to be immersion in a solvent may require a different approach than one where contact is minimal and limited to an accidental splash. Typical categories of contact or exposure potential are: ● ●

These seven steps are compatible with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States to conduct a hazard assessment before assignment of protective clothing. The first important question to be answered in our selection process is whether CPC must be used. This includes a consideration of other options, such as the replacement of the chemical with a less harmful one (substitution), the use of tools or other techniques to reduce or eliminate the need to be in close proximity to the chemical(s), a redesign of the job, or the use of robotics, to name a few examples. Even if CPC must be used for economic, feasibility, or other reasons, it may still be possible to reduce the level of hazard that the situation presents through a combination of administrative, engineering, or other control methods along with the use of CPC.

● ● ● ●

Immersion (continuous or intermittent) Spray (pressurized or nonpressurized) Splash (continuous, intermittent, or not expected) Surface contact (continuous or intermittent) Mist (continuous or intermittent) Vapors (gaseous contact)

In all cases, the CPC should protect the user from the effects of contact with the chemical. For example, job tasks with the potential for contact in the form of a pressurized spray (from a source that is under pressure) should include the requirement for sealing all exposed surfaces against penetration including any mist or vapor penetration. An assessment of the adverse health effects from chemical contact is the most important factor in the determination of the right 10

CPC to use if it is decided that CPC should be used. This should include the general toxicity and all hazards from use of the chemical (e.g., fire hazard) with an emphasis on the local effects on the skin (e.g., effects of skin contact, such as chemical burns, corrosion, staining, irritation), and the systemic effects of chemicals that might permeate the skin and enter the blood stream. Obviously, the more harmful the effects of chemical contact, the more protection the user needs and the more important the proper selection becomes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and several other agencies such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have developed a selection scheme for personal protective equipment for hazardous waste operations and emergency response by level of protection required. Their scheme consists of four levels designated by the letters A, B, C, and D. The following list summarizes this scheme. Level A: Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or Positive Pressure Airline System (PPAS) with escape SCBA and totally encapsulating chemical protective suit, gloves (double layer), chemically resistant boots, plus other safety equipment.

Level B: Same respirator as level A and hooded chemicalresistant suit, gloves (double layer), chemically resistant boots, plus other safety equipment. Level C: Full face or half-mask air purifying respirator and protective clothing as in level B, plus other safety equipment. Level D: No respiratory protection and “coveralls” with an option for gloves, boots, boot coverings, and other related safety equipment. It should be noted that although level A requires a gas-tight totally encapsulating suit, levels B and C are basically the same splash suit, and level D has essentially no chemical protective clothing requirement (other than optional gloves and boots). Therefore, these standard ensembles represent only two major options in terms of chemical protective clothing: totally encapsulating suits and other chemically protective clothing. Most industrial situations require a much more specific selection of protective clothing. This is usually easier to accomplish because the chemicals and exposure situations are better known. 11

The physical resistance and properties required must be determined. As stated earlier, the best chemically resistant material will be ineffective if torn, cut, punctured, or otherwise damaged. In addition, contamination within protective clothing can actually be worse than normal contact because the chemical can be held against the skin for long periods of time. Many of the materials that offer excellent chemical resistance may offer poor resistance to abrasion, cut, and puncture. Using gloves as an example, possible solutions to this problem are double gloving (use of two of the same or different gloves on the same hand), the use of gloves that are composed of more than one compound (e.g., dipped gloves), or the use of multilayered gloves. Some of the physical resistance factors to consider before evaluating chemical resistance needed are ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Abrasion resistance Cut resistance Puncture resistance Tear strength Tensile strength Flammability Resistance to the effects of heat and cold (insulation)

Some other physical properties to consider for articles of protective clothing are closure strength (zippers, etc.), seam strength, bursting strength, flexibility, and weight. The exact properties desired depend on the hazards of the work and the requirements of the job to be performed. Determining the chemical resistance required from the protective clothing is necessary. This guide provides recommendations based on breakthrough data reported by researchers including those of the manufacturer of the CPC. As stated earlier, the ASTM method is a test of the barrier against direct liquid or gaseous contact and for most situations represents a worst case scenario. Second, very little is known about the relationship between the breakthrough of protective clothing and human toxicity, given that most permeation rates are extremely low (micrograms per square meter per minute). For protection against most potentially hazardous materials, we try to use CPC that offers at least 4 hours of breakthrough resistance. In some cases, finding a barrier that offers breakthrough resistance of at least 4 hours is not possible. In this situation, a low permeation rate may be the best choice of the options immediately available (e.g., a yellow or red block with an asterisk). In these cases, it is best to review actual permeation data to 12

make the choice of the most chemically resistant CPC. Vendors of CPC are usually a good source of current information on the chemical and physical resistance of their products. For those chemicals that have not been tested, some generalizations can be made about their ability to permeate various barriers based on their chemical class. However, caution must be exercised because the only way to be sure of the performance of CPC is to test it against the chemical of interest. Mixtures are another complicating factor. These are commonly encountered, but little data exists on the performance of protective materials against mixtures. They do not always behave as might be expected in terms of permeation behavior. Again, the best approach to this problem is to have the mixture actually tested. Human factors of the job or task must also be considered. Human factors (ergonomics) are those factors that affect our ability to accomplish our jobs in an efficient and effective manner. Ideally, CPC should make our jobs and us more productive. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. We must be careful that the job we want to accomplish can be done while wearing CPC. In most cases, the use of CPC at any level increases errors and decreases productivity. The CPC can even present safety hazards (e.g., get

caught in machinery) that would not exist without the use of it. It is important to select the best mix of protection and comfort for the worker while maintaining or improving productivity. Probably the three major human factor problems in the use of CPC are proper sizing, heat stress, and the loss of the tactile senses (i.e., touch and feel). The axiom, “ One size fits all” does not apply to protective clothing. Size is important to be able to function properly, and heat stress is common to any article of protective clothing that offers good chemical resistance (especially suits). For some jobs in high radiant or ambient environments, heat stress can be the limiting factor in the use of CPC. Finally, with increases in glove thickness and hence chemical resistance, there is a corresponding decrease in dexterity, touch, and feel. The best prevention for human factor related problems is to try several different approaches, products, and materials to determine which combination works best for the user. The last factor to be determined is cost. This is not because it is least important (nor is it most important). The reason for discussing cost here is that it is always an important factor, but not the single most important factor. First, the “best” selection of CPC is a result of considering many factors, such as those 13

previously listed in this section. The best selection may not be the most chemically resistant material. Like generic drugs, there may be materials that offer more than adequate resistance at a much lower cost than some name brand product. Therefore, cost should be considered and given an equal weight with the other factors listed in this section. It may also result in a conclusion that the cost of reengineering the process or providing engineering controls is more cost effective than the cost of CPC. There are many persons who will use this guide and not have the expertise or resources to adequately evaluate all of the factors listed in this section. For these persons and others, there are several approaches to the selection of protective clothing. First, most vendors of CPC provide information on the performance of their products against national consensus tests and standards such as the ASTM standards for protective clothing. Many of these vendors also offer technical assistance in the proper selection, use, and maintenance of their products without charge. Second, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has developed minimum standards for the performance of protective clothing that is used by the fire service. These standards have application for some industrial uses as well. These standards are

NFPA 1991, Standard on Vapor-Protective Suits for Hazardous Chemical Emergencies NFPA 1992, Standard on Liquid Splash Suits for Hazardous Chemical Emergencies NFPA 1993, Standard on Single Use Splash Protective Suits for Non-Flammable Hazardous Chemical Situations NFPA 1999, Standards on Protective Clothing for Emergency Medical Operations Compliance with NFPA standards requires third-party certification and independent testing. Those products meeting the battery of NFPA performance requirements are labeled as meeting the applicable standard. Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) maintain a list of products completed certification testing based on NFPA requirements (http://www.seinet.org/CPL/content.htm) In summary, there are several key factors to be considered when selecting chemical protective clothing. These include determining whether other options are available for control of exposures, type of exposure and toxicity of the chemicals to be used, physical and chemical resistance needed, what is required from the protective clothing to be able to perform the job, and finally, a consideration of costs in the final selection. 14

The following contains a listing of 12 simple but important considerations for the selection and use of protective clothing. 4.

Twelve Important Considerations for the Selection and Use of Protective Clothing 1. In general, chemicals that are soluble in both water and lipids (fat) will permeate the skin. Most, but not all, of these are designated by the “skin” notation in the index to the guide. 2. All chemicals pass or permeate through protective barriers sooner or later. Remember, permeation can take place without any visible evidence or change in the protective materials. Color changes or changes in texture, as well as hardening or softening of protective barriers after use, usually indicate degradation. 3. Even the best protective clothing products will not perform properly if they are torn, cut, or damaged. You should always inspect protective clothing before and after each use. Gloves can be checked for their integrity by inflation with air or even water. Most limited- and single-use suits can be held up to a strong light or window to inspect for

5.

imperfections or breaks in the barrier. Gas-tight totally encapsulated suits may require pressure testing. If your protective equipment becomes torn or damaged, replace it. A barrier may protect against one chemical very well, but perform poorly against another or a mixture of chemicals. Each chemical and material combination must be considered. No single protective material is an absolute barrier against all chemicals. The recommendations listed in this guide are generally based on tests that have been performed at room temperature. Higher temperatures usually decrease the breakthrough time of chemicals (faster breakthrough), whereas lower temperatures increase the time to breakthrough. Generally, thicker is better. Increasing the thickness of the protective article, such as a glove, normally increases the time to breakthrough, but the benefits may be offset by a reduction in tactility and dexterity. The use of multiple layers (e.g., double gloving) can increase thickness and provide desirable properties of different materials. Protective gloves and other chemical protective clothing may all look alike. Be sure that the material you are using is the right one for the job you are doing. Do not depend only 15

on the appearance or color of the material because most barriers are available in many different forms and colors. 8. If a chemical has been absorbed by a protective clothing material, it continues to permeate (pass through) the material. If the protective material has been contaminated to the point of breakthrough, it must be decontaminated before it may be used again. Once the protective clothing has been permeated, additional exposures usually result in shorter time periods to subsequent permeation. Chemicals such as powders, acids, and bases typically have no permeation potential but still must be neutralized or removed to prevent skin contamination when the clothing is removed or reused. 9. Some of the recommendations have been made on a generic basis—that is, the materials are shown by their common or generic name. Most of the polymer formulations vary by manufacturer and from product lot to product lot. Research has shown this variation in chemical resistance can be significant for Neoprene, Nitrile, and PVC. Users should check with the specific manufacturer selected to confirm the performance of their products. 10. Some protective clothing has a shelf life and/or requires special storage measures, such as the avoidance of sunlight,

ozone, or moisture. Check with the manufacturer for the proper storage, maintenance, and care. Also, remember that alterations to suits or equipment may void the manufacturer’s warranty and change the performance of the equipment. 11. Medical gloves are generally not appropriate for industrial applications because they are thin or offer poor chemical resistance. Latex gloves also present a significant problem of allergic reactions from some persons. 12. The best way to select the proper chemical protective clothing is to have the material specifically tested under the work conditions and chemicals being used. Once the selection process is completed, there are still other issues to address. This includes training of the users in when to use the protective clothing; proper inspection and maintenance; how to properly put on, wear, and take off the protective clothing; knowing the useful life of the equipment; and how to properly dispose of the protective clothing. Finally, it is useful to have the users try the protective clothing options available before making a purchasing decision. They are the ultimate customers. 16

SECTION III

Chemical Index This section contains the listing of chemical names and synonyms (in alphabetical order) that are used to find the chemical class number. Other information provided is the chemical abstract service (CAS) registry number, risk codes, and special notes.

Chemical Class Numbers The chemical class numbers are shown in the first column and are used to find the recommended barriers in the SELECTION RECOMMENDATIONS section (Section IV). Chemicals have been grouped together into chemical classes according to the American Society for Testing and Materials—ASTM F-1186

Standard Classification System for Chemicals According to Functional Groups because chemicals of the same family or type have similar effects on barriers. This also permits the user to estimate performance if no chemical resistance data are known. For chemicals classified into two different functional groups, both chemical classes are indicated in the first column. As an example, Ethanolamine belongs to Amines as well as Hydroxyl Compound (i.e., class 141/311). Class 590 contains miscellaneous chemicals (e.g., Cutting fluids or AZT). All Chemical Warfare Agents (CW Agents) have been organized in class 600. Please note that the classes 590 and 600 are not based on functional groups. 17

Chemical Names

Chemical Abstract Service Number (CAS #)

Chemical names are shown in the second column of the CHEMICAL INDEX. Even though they appear in the second column, the index is organized alphabetically by the chemical names and not by the numeric class number. In most cases, the chemical names are those most commonly used by occupational health and safety professionals or the researchers that reported the data. Common synonyms are given for many of the listings as well.

The CAS registry numbers are unique identifiers of chemical substances assigned and maintained by the Chemical Abstract Service. There are more than seven million chemical substances assigned CAS numbers based on atomic structure, valence bonds, and stereochemistry. These numbers are routinely used by government agencies to specify chemicals being regulated to assure that there is no confusion over the identity of the substance. The CAS number is made up of three groups of numbers separated by hyphens. The first group can be up to six digits, the second group is composed of two digits, and the third is a single digit (e.g., XXXXXX-XX-X).

Synonyms Common synonyms (other names) for many of the chemicals listed in the index are shown in parentheses. For example, Isopropanol is also called 2-propanol, or the abbreviation IPA. These are other names used to identify the same chemical. These other names are listed in alphabetical order in parentheses with a reference to the proper name to use for searching the index. Matching the CAS number can make confirmation that your selection is correct.

Risk Code The column titled “Risk Code” contains a listing based on the designations published in the Official Gazette of the European Community’s “Guide to Classification and Marking of Hazardous Substances.” These codes are shown in the following table. 18

Risk Code Tx T Cx C X Xi V

Hazard Rating Highly toxic Toxic Highly corrosive, causes severe burns Corrosive, causes burns Harmful Irritant Potentially harmful

These ratings are shown in descending order of severity (most hazardous at the top; least hazardous at the bottom). Although risk is a relative measure dependent on many factors, this table can determine some general measure of the relative risk presented by each chemical. Three additional notations may also appear with the risk codes. These are a cancer notation for those chemicals thought to be potential carcinogens; genetic notation for those chemicals, which may cause inheritable genetic damage; and a sensitization notation for those chemicals with a skin sensitization potential. Measures that can be used to control exposure to these chemicals and reduce the user’s risk include the use of engineering controls including ventilation, proper work practices, and a number of other measures.

Chemical Warfare Agents Specific test methods conforming to military standards are used for Chemical Warfare Agents (CW Agents). Therefore, class 600 has been designated for these CW Agents, but is not based on functional groups. CW Agents can be classified in many different ways. There are, for example, volatile substances, which mainly contaminate the air; or persistent substances, which are not volatile and therefore mainly cover surfaces. CW agents mainly used against people may also be divided into lethal and incapacitating categories. A substance is classified as incapacitating if less than 1/100 of lethal dose causes incapacitation. CW Agents are generally also classified according to their effect on the organism. There are “caution” notations given for all of the CW agents listed because OSHA or American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) does not list them in their Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) or Threshold Limit Value (TLV) lists. However, it is important to note that all are extremely dangerous by the dermal route. This is particularly important for the nerve agents (Tabun, Sarin, Soman, and VX). Of the four, Sarin 19

is the most volatile (has a similar vapor pressure as water), and hence is less likely to enter the body through the dermal route or permanently contaminate protective clothing. Of the four nerve agents listed, the most toxic by skin or inhalation is VX, followed by Soman, Sarin, and Tabin, respectively. In all cases, it is very important that all areas of the body be protected and that there be no possibility of exposed skin (e.g., single piece garment or airtight closures among the components). Protection against terrorist threats and actions has generated significant interest in the selection of chemical protective clothing for this purpose. Although most readers and users of this Guide will never have need for this information, it has been added for those in the public and private services who must deal with these threats.

Special Notes The last column contains skin and caution designations. The sources for the skin designation are the Threshold Limit

Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents published by the ACGIH and OSHA’s PELs published under 29 CFR 1910.1000 table Z-1-A. The skin designation alerts the user to those chemicals that are believed to present a significant risk of skin absorption and consequent toxicity. The caution designation is meant to alert the user of this guide to chemicals that could cause serious skin injury (e.g., strong corrosives) or other significant adverse effects, including skin absorption, reported in the literature, but not noted by ACGIH or OSHA. Many materials, such as hydrofluoric acid, can cause serious and permanent injury to an unprotected or improperly protected user. Therefore, the skin and caution notations are meant to alert the reader to the need for a special emphasis on the careful selection of protective equipment for these chemicals. Protective clothing users are cautioned that not all chemicals that can cause significant toxic or adverse effects are shown by either the skin or caution notations. Those most widely recognized in the literature or by the authors are listed. 20

SECTION IV

Selection Recommendations Barriers This section contains the color-coded recommendations for protective barriers. Sixteen protective barriers are contained in the data tables. They represent materials that are used in the construction of gloves, boots, suits, and other items of protective clothing. The table below shows their principal uses as chemically resistant barriers (listed in the same order as in the colorcoded recommendations). See also Section VII—Manufacturers of Chemical Protective Clothing for contact information and description of barrier material.

In some cases, this may represent a film or coating over another substrate, such as coated polyester, polyamide, or spun-bonded olefin fabrics. 2 Limited availability in gloves and aprons. Most of the PE recommendations are based on DuPont Tychem® QC test reports. 3 Some clothing manufacturers call this barrier material fluoroelastomer or FKM. 4 Viton/Butyl recommendations are from tests of a Viton/Butyl–laminate coated on polyester or polyamide fabrics. Draeger, Respirex, and Trelleborg manufacture Viton/Butyl suits.

Color Codes The tables contain fields with one of four color codes. These color codes are green, yellow, red, and white. The tables also contain three symbols. The greater than eight (>8) symbol means a greater than 8-hour resistance to breakthrough was reported. Some green fields have the letter E in them. This indicates a material that has been estimated to provide at least 4 four hours of protection. Finally, greater than 3 (>3) hours and greater than 12 (>12) hours are from CW Agents test reports based on MIL-STD-282 and greater than 1 (>1) hour based on NFPA 1991 standards. An explanation of what each specific color code means follows: Green fields in the data tables represent reported resistance to breakthrough of greater than 4 hours under conditions of continuous 54

contact. A >8 symbol represents greater than 8 hours of resistance to breakthrough reported under continuous contact. The letter E means the material has been estimated (but not tested) to provide at least 4 hours of protection. This symbol has been used for suit materials with expected long-term protection, but only tested for 3.3 hours to meet a specific government testing requirement. Yellow fields in the data tables represent barriers with reported breakthrough detection times of between 1 and 4 hours. The permeation rates after breakthrough may vary from low to high. Yellow fields may also represent breakthrough resistance tests that have been conducted for less than the full 4 (or 8) hours. The performance of protective clothing barriers in this classification may be unsuitable for use, except for those situations where only short periods of use are needed and the chemicals represent minimal dermal hazards. For some of the CW Agents, a >1 symbol represents greater than 1 hour breakthrough resistance according to the NFPA CRDC-SP-84010, method 2.2. Red fields in the data tables represent barriers with reported breakthrough detection times of less than 1 hour. In some cases, the rapid breakthrough may be accompanied or caused by

degradation of the barrier. After rapid breakthrough, permeation rates are usually high. Barriers listed with red fields for resistance are not recommended. White fields in the data tables represent those materials for which test data were not available. No recommendations are made for these barriers. These barriers should be tested against the challenge chemical before considering them for use.

Important Notes and Warnings These data tables are based on published and unpublished results of permeation testing completed by other researchers using ASTM, ISO, or other standard methods. At least 90% of these tests are generated in accordance to the ASTM standards. Most of the data shown for generic barriers are a summary of the results from more than one test report. Not all of the commercially available materials or barriers used for protective clothing are included in this guide. For performance data on products not listed in this guide or for the most recent data, the vendors of the products should be consulted. In addition, 55

specific products or newer formulations of the reported products or barriers may perform differently than reported in this guide. Always check with the manufacturer for the latest test results. Most of the data are from the manufacturer. Finally, it is important to remember that breakthrough resistance is only one of many factors to consider in the selection of protective clothing. See Section II on selection and use for some of the other important factors.

The Chemical Protective Clothing Performance Index by Krister Forsberg & Lawrence H. Keith, 2nd edition (1999); John Wiley & Sons, Inc. includes more than 10,500 reported chemical permeation test with more than 350 models of chemical protective clothing. In addition, there are more than 3,000 chemical degradation test reported. The selection recommendations are based on these data plus many new data compiled since the Index Book was published.

SECTION V

Glossary This section contains the glossary of terms related to the sections and use of chemical protective clothing. The terms are in alphabetic order followed by a brief definition in lay language wherever possible. ABSORB: To suck in or “pick-up” a liquid by capillary, osmotic, or chemical action. ABSORBENT: A material that picks up and retains a liquid distributed throughout its molecular structure causing the solid to swell (50% or more). The absorbent is at least 70% insoluble in excess fluid (ASTM F726-99).

ACGIH: The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®) is a member-based organization and community of professionals (representing government, academia, and private industry) that advances worker health and safety through education and the development and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge. (http://www.acgih.org/About/) ACID: A compound that, in solution, furnishes hydrogen ions. Acids are compounds that have a pH less than 7.0. Very acidic compounds have low pHs. ACTION LEVEL: The exposure level (air concentration) at which OSHA regulations take effect. Usually one-half of the PEL.

117

ACUTE EFFECT: Health effects that show up a short length of time after exposure (Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene, 3rd Edition, National Safety Council, 1988, p. 850). AEROSOL: A fine suspension of a liquid or solid in air with particles small enough to stay suspended for a period of time. ALKALI: A term usually applied to strong soluble bases, e.g., sodium hydroxide, NAOH. Compounds that have a pH above 7.0 when dissolved in water are considered alkaline. Highly alkaline compounds have high pHs. ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUE: A procedure whereby the concentration of the test chemical in a collection medium is quantitatively determined when conducting permeation testing (ASTM F 739). ANHYDROUS:

Without water.

AQUEOUS: Describes a water-based solution or suspension. ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials. An organization founded in 1898 that develops and publishes technical information with an emphasis on consensus test methods. Within ASTM, Committee F23 on Protective Clothing is responsible for

the permeation test method and related test methods. ASTM is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. BASE: A compound that, in solution furnishes hydroxyl ions. Substances that have a pH above 7.0 when dissolved in water are basic. The opposite of an acid on the pH scale. See ALKALI. BOILING POINT: The temperature at which a liquid boils or turns into a gas (vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure). BREAKTHROUGH: The movement of a chemical through a protective barrier to the other side. BREAKTHROUGH DETECTION TIME: The elapsed time measured from the start of the test to the sampling time that immediately precedes the sampling time at which the test chemical is first detected (ASTM F23.30, F 739, F 1383). BREAKTHROUGH TIME: TECTION TIME.

See BREAKTHROUGH DE-

BUTYL RUBBER: A type of synthetic rubber formed from butylenes and isoprene as copolymers used in gloves and other protective clothing because of its chemical resistance. 118

BWA:

Biological War Agents (e.g., Anthrax).

CARCINOGEN:

A substance capable of causing cancer.

CAS NUMBER: The Chemical Abstracts Service registry number. A unique chemical designator or identifier. CAUSTIC:

See ALKALI.

CEILING EXPOSURE LIMIT: An airborne concentration that is not to be exceeded at any time during the working day. CHALLENGE 5000 AND 6400: Trade-name materials of the Chemfab Company that are of Teflon construction and used for chemical protective suits. The products are no longer available for civilian responders. CHEMICAL: of elements.

Any element, chemical compound, or mixture

CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (CPC): Any material or combination of materials used in an item of clothing for the purpose of isolating parts of the body from direct contact with a potentially hazardous chemical (ASTM F23.70).

CHLORINATED POLYETHYLENE: Polyethylene (a selfextinguishing plastic) that contains chlorine atoms and is used for protective clothing by ILC Dover Company and DuPont Company. Also called CPE. CHLOROBUTYL RUBBER: A type of butyl rubber that contains chlorine atoms and is used in protective clothing. CHLOROPRENE:

See NEOPRENE

CHRONIC EFFECT: An effect usually occurring from repeated exposures received over a period of time. CLOROPELTM: A trademark for ILC Dover, Inc., chlorinated for polyethylene-coated fabrics used in protective clothing. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID: higher than 100°F.

A material with a flash point of

CONTAMINATION: The presence of any unwanted material or substance on or in PPE, equipment, structures, or the environment. CORROSIVE: A material that causes visible destruction or irreversible alterations in living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact (or that will severely corrode steel). 119

CPC:

Chemical protective clothing.

CPE: Chlorinated polyethylene. CPF I, II, III, and IV: A trade-name material of the DuPont Company used in chemical protective clothing. CRYOGENIC GASES: Gases that are cooled to extremely cold temperatures to change them into liquids. CUMULATIVE PERMEATION: The total amount of chemical that permeates during a specified time from when the material is first contacted (ASTM F23.30, F 1383, F 1407). CW AGENT: Chemical Warfare Agents. A United Nation report from 1969 defines chemical warfare agents as chemical substances, whether gaseous, liquid, or solid, that might be used because of their toxic effects on humans, animals, and plants (e.g., Mustard agents, Sarin). DECONTAMINATION: The removal of a contaminant or contaminants from the surface or matrix, or both, of chemical protective clothing (CPC) to the extent necessary for its next intended action (e.g., reuse and disposal) (ASTM F23.70, F 1461).

DEGRADATION: A deleterious change in one or more physical properties of protective clothing or equipment as a result of contact with a chemical. DERMAL: Affecting the skin (or permeation through the skin). DETECTION LIMIT: A minimum limit of detection for the challenge chemical and the analytical technique used, when doing permeation testing. For the ASTM F739-91 permeation test, the detection limit is 0.1 ␮g/cm2/min and for EN 374 1.0 ␮g/cm2/min. DIFFUSION: The mixing of one substance into another when separated by barrier (i.e., movement of substance on a molecular level across the barrier to the other side). DIFFUSION RATE: A measure of the tendency of one gas or vapor to disperse into or mix with another gas or vapor. This rate depends on the density of the vapor or gas as compared with that of air (Fundamentals of Industrial Hygiene, 3rd Edition, National Safety Council, 1988, p. 861). Can be expressed mathematically. Fick’s first law of diffusion is sometimes used to quantitate the rate of permeation across the skin (Modern Industrial Hygiene, Recognition and Evaluation of Chemical Agents, Vol. 1, J. L. Perkins, 1997, p. 140). 120

DIPPED: Application of a liquid polymer coating to a substrate thereby forming a layer (e.g., elastomer-coated cotton gloves) or a method used to form a glove (e.g., latex coated gloves). DOT:

The United States Department of Transportation.

ELASTOMER: A rubber or plastic with elastic characteristics; also called FKM. ENSEMBLE (CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE SUIT ENSEMBLE): A combination of chemical protective clothing (e.g., suits, boots, gloves) and other protective equipment such as respirators, communication devices, cooling devices, and other equipment. EPA:
