The National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has developed a system for indicating
the health hazards of chemicals:
|
|
4
|
Danger, may be fatal on
short exposure. Specialized protective equipment required.
|
|
|
|
|
3
|
Warning, corrosive or toxic.
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
Warning, may be harmful if
inhaled or absorbed.
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
Caution, may be irritating.
|
|
|
|
|
0
|
No unusual hazard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
No information available. Avoid skin contact or
inhalation..
|
|
|
|
|
The
compatibility of the glove films with each chemical is color coded as
follows:
|
|
P
|
POOR chemical resistance
|
|
|
|
|
F
|
FAIR chemical resistance
|
|
|
|
|
G - E
|
GOOD to EXCELLENT chemical resistance
|
|
|
|
|
Use of this
application indicates agreement with the [Terms of Use] statement.
|
|
Information is
based upon published data. gloves have not been
individually tested against these chemicals. Variability in material
thickness, chemical concentration, temperature, and length of exposure to
chemicals will affect specific performance.
