Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] glove recommendation for Acetyl cyanide (Quesiton on the SDS content)
I was intrigued by this phrase in the reference below:
"Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing, "
Do you suppose this refers to a single garment, or is one supposed to wear the chemical suit over the flame retardant antistatic protective clothing? If the former, does anyone know of such a material?
I'm also struck by the contrast between the exacting specifications for the butyl rubber glove (which I appreciate Sigma Aldrich's having provided) and the more generic description of a "suit protecting against chemicals," but at the same time, reading the section in its entirety, it's pretty good advice.
