This resource provides industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals with the most complete, up-to-date, reliable information on chemical protective clothing. This revised and updated edition expands the range of data covered in terms of materials and their ability to protect human health and safety. Coverage spans test records from manufacturers worldwide, including permeation and degradation data obtained with ASTM methods as well as other regulatory standards. All told, over 10,500 chemical permeation tests are reported, presenting some 50,000 data entries on subjects such as test material, thickness, permeation rates, breakthrough times, permeation index numbers, and references.

From the Introduction: “This printed book was produced from data derived from Instant Gloves + CPC Database, an electronic book that was developed to provide a technical basis for selecting chemical protective clothing (CPC). The objective of both publications is to provide the best possible information currently available regarding resistance of CPC to a wide variety of chemicals. The book, and the electronic database, are the world's largest international sources of chemical permeation and degradation data and have become the industry standard in this field...”

Target Audience: Industrial hygienists and other workplace safety professionals, as well as developers of chemical protective clothing.
