The DuPont™ SafeSPEC™ Product Selector Tools - Hazard, Industry, My Scenarios and Double-check- are intended to assist in choosing protective clothing for particular applications and does not replace the judgment of a qualified safety professional or industrial hygienist. Additional personal protective equipment, such as such as but not limited to: respiratory, eye, head, foot, and hand protection, may be required.
Supplying the proper hazard/chemical and exposure information for your hazard scenario is criticalin order to obtain an accurate recommendation. Inaccurate information could result in an improper recommendation. To ensure that the hazard/chemical information is accurate, consult the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) supplied with the chemical. DuPont DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR SUITS SELECTED USING these PRODUCT SELECTOR TOOLS, BASED ON ANY INCOMPLETE, INACCURATE, OR MISLEADING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE USER. There are other factors involved which could affect the final PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) decision and may not be considered in these Product Selector Tools. SafeSPEC™ Product Selector Tools provides information on DuPont suit styles for particular applications. The final decision on suit selection is the responsibility of the safety professional and end-user.

be unsuitable. It is the responsibility of the user to review
available data and verify that the garment selected is appropriate for
the intended use and meets all specified government and industry
standards.

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

Flammable Environments
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.

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.
