GoreTex ChemSplash

GORE® Fabric for Chemical Splash Protection provides liquid splash protection while maintaining comfort. Clothing mode from this fabric allows your body to "breathe", so your sweat can evaporate through the CORE membrane, providing you with some relief from heat stress. Because it is light and comfortable, it generally can be worn for a full shift without excessive overheating.

Protection You Can Wear

Vinyl or rubber suits, made from heavily coated materials, are hot, heavy and cumbersome, and they have only one function - protection against accidental contact with liquid chemicals. Workers are uncomfortable in this clothing, and, with prolonged wear, they often become sweaty, sticky, exhausted, and perhaps even disoriented.

When you need chemical penetration resistance and comfort, choose clothing made with GORE® Fabric for Chemical Splash Protection for remarkable comfort and all day protection. Protective clothing made from this unique fabric gives you the time necessary to exit the area and get to an emergency shower in case of an accidental splash with a dangerous chemical.
