CAUTION:
The hazards that you list for your hazard scenario The hazards that you list for your hazard scenario must be used independently of each other in the work environment. This tool does not evaluate chemical reactions or have the ability to recognize multiple chemicals as ingredients in a chemical mixture.
Do not use this form to list ingredients for a chemical mixture. Chemical mixtures behave differently than the individual constituents. Do not make the assumption that a fabric will provide protection if it shows barrier protection against the most hazardous ingredient. If one ingredient is able to permeate the fabric, it may pull other ingredients through the fabric as well.
Hazard Concentration information
Please read following
- You have selected a chemical that has been tested at multiple concentrations. All concentrations will be displayed on the next page so that you can review breakthrough times for each concentration.
- Please review FAQs if your hazard concentration is lower or higher than the tested concentrations
Need Help?
- If you see your hazard in the drop down list, make sure you are selecting the hazard from the drop down list before clicking "Add to List".
- If you do not see your hazard listed, check the spelling and try again. You may also want to try the CAS number (located on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)). You may be searching by a synonym name that is not recognized in our database
- There is the possibility that we do not have permeation data for the requested chemical.

Warning
If any of the following apply:
- A fire or electric arc is actively present in the work environment
- The work environment contains an uncontrollable flammable material between the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) or Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) or Upper Flammable Limit (UFL)
- The work environment has been subject to a breach or loss in containment of flammable material (flammable liquids, flammable vapors or combustible dusts)
- There is an uncontrolled fuel source available in the work environment (that may or may not have encountered an ignition source yet)
Please consider fire fighter PPE (personal protective equipment). Read more.
If none of these conditions apply but FR clothing is required in your working environment, close this box and proceed to the next question. Only fabrics that provide both chemical resistance to the hazards you have listed and protection during escape from a flash fire will be considered for your hazard scenario.

DUPONT FABRIC PERMEATION DATA - TESTING DETAILS
The fabric permeation data was generated for DuPont by independent testing laboratories using ASTM F739, EN369, EN 374-3, EN ISO 6529 (method A and B) or ASTM D6978 test methods. Normalized breakthrough time (the time at which the permeation rate is equal to 0.1 μg/cm2/min) are reported in minutes. All liquid chemicals have been tested between approximately 20℃ and 27℃ unless otherwise stated. A different temperature may have significant influence on the breakthrough time; permeation rates typically increase with temperature. All chemicals have been tested at a concentration of greater than 95% unless otherwise stated. Unless otherwise stated, permeation was measured for single chemicals. The permeation characteristics of mixtures can deviate considerably from the permeation behavior of the individual chemicals. Chemical warfare agents (Lewisite, Sarin, Soman, Sulfur Mustard, Tabun and VX Nerve Agent) have been tested at 22°C and 50% relative humidity per military standard MIL-STD-282.

GUIDE - INTRODUCTION
Use this garment selector tool if your hazard can not be found in our database or if you would like more flexibility in the garment selection process.
Given the limitless combinations of hazard scenarios, it is not possible for DuPont to have barrier test data for all of our fabrics against all the hazards for which you need to select appropriate chemical protective garments. This is where Guide can help.
Using the guidelines established in ASTM F1186 and/or the guidance given in the OSHA Technical Manual(2), the Guide product selector tool can help you navigate the garment selection process one step at a time. From defining your hazard and exposure level, to selecting appropriate fabrics, seams and designs, Guide can help you find suitable garments for your unique set of exposure conditions.
