In the chemical industry, workers are exposed to hazards to health and life on a daily basis caused by hazardous chemical compounds in liquid, gas or solid form. The new Salveguarda CHEM 4502 and Salveguarda CHEM 6002 laminates form a protective barrier against inorganic chemicals protecting a body of a user exposed to high levels of chemicals. The materials are resistant to 480 minute long exposure to concentrated acids or bases, as well as to many other chemical agents (even pressurised), as specified in PN-EN ISO 6529:2005. Laminates are designated for manufacturing of suits protecting against chemical and biological hazards, category III, type 3, 4, 5, and 6. They offer an excellent protection against contamination with infectious agents or radioactive contamination. Salveguarda CHEM 4502 and Salveguarda CHEM 6002 laminates are available as standard in yellow, grey and navy blue, but their colour can also be customised as required by an individual customer. Furthermore, we offer Salveguarda CHEM 2001 film that can be used to seal the finished product of the same colour as the laminate for the suit. When additional resistance to selected organic chemicals is required, the use of specialist Salveguarda FORCE laminates is required, offering higher protection. Detailed information on resistance to selected chemicals is provided in the table in the information leaflet.

Protective suits represent a crucial component in personal protective equipment. They are used in the automotive, food, agriculture, petrochemical and electronic industries, as well as wherever there is a risk of body or clothing contamination. The Salveguarda materials are resistant to effects of hazardous particles, such as lead, asbestos or mould, as well as of a number of chemical compounds, depending on the material design. The antistatic properties, in accordance with EN 1149-5, ensure protection against accumulation of electrostatic charges that may form an electric arc resulting in ignition or an explosion in the workplace. The two-layer Salveguarda laminates have antistatic properties, usually ensured on the inner side of the protective clothing, and in special cases, the three-layer material protects against electrostatic discharges both on inside and outside surfaces of the suit. When protection against electromagnetic radiation in a range of 50 kHz to 5 GHz is required, the use of aquascreen materials is recommended.

Plant protection agents (PPA) are also known as pesticides or phytopharmaceuticals. They are used to protect crops, mainly against fungi (fungicides), insects (insecticides) and weeds (herbicides). The use of pesticides is strictly regulated. Farmers must observe rules specified in a product label and use relevant personal protective equipment. For this purpose, we have designed Salveguarda AIR and Salveguarda CHEM laminates. For contacts with plant protection products, CE-certified protective clothing of category III type 4 is recommended, protecting against aqueous aerosols. In the case of exposure to active ingredients in form of solid particles, the use of clothing with a minimum resistance class of category III type 5 is recommended. When clothing of Salveguarda AIR is used, depending on chemicals used, it is recommended to wear additional apron made of Salveguarda CHEM or Salveguarda FORCE at locations with the highest exposure to chemicals.
