First Published in 1995. The three most important things to evaluate when selecting Chemical Protective Clothing (CPC) are: evidence of degradation of the garment exposed to a chemical; breakthrough time; and permeation rate. Because proper CPC selection must be based on permeation and degradation tests performed upon specific manufacturer products, an information source that enables you to access test results quickly and easily is needed. "Chemical Protective Clothing Permeation and Degradation Compendium" aims to be that source.

The world's most comprehensive source of performance data onchemical protective clothing The Performance Index providesindustrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals with themost complete, up-to-date, reliable resource for making informeddecisions on chemical protective clothing (CPC). Painstakinglycompiled and evaluated by internationally recognized expertsKrister Forsberg and Lawrence Keith, this new and expanded editionpresents virtually all available data on the resistance of CPC to awide variety of chemicals. Coverage spans test records frommanufacturers worldwide, including CPC permeation and degradationdata obtained with ASTM methods as well as other regulatorystandards. Organized by chemical name and CAS Number, the newedition features:* Over 10,500 chemical permeation tests--more than double thenumber of the 1989 edition* An additional 3,000+ chemical degradation tests* Coverage of 860 chemicals and mixtures--200 more than in the lastedition* Information on more than 350 different types and models of CPC,including gloves, hazmat suits, boots, visors, and more* Roughly 50,000 data entries on such subjects as test material,thickness, permeation rates, breakthrough times, permeation indexnumbers, and references--twice as many as in the last editionAlso available from Wiley . Quick Selection Guide to ChemicalProtective Clothing Third Edition by Krister Forsberg and S. Z.Mansdorf 0-471-28797-0 Based on data from the Performance Index,this bestselling guide includes information on 600 chemicals and 16representative barrier materials used in gloves, suits, and otheritems of protective clothing. It offers the same recommendations asthe excellent and comprehensive Performance Index, yet in aconcise, readily accessible format.

The expanded eighth edition, complete with new materials and updated information on existing materials for chemical protective clothing.This revised and updated eighth edition expands previous selection recommendations to the total number of 9,000 recommendations. The recommendations are based on the singular most comprehensive collection of chemical permeation and resistance data for chemical protective clothingThe Quick Selection Guide to Chemical Protective Clothing provides the most efficient tool for selecting appropriate protection against chemical exposure. Its three-step process enables users to quickly identify the barrier material offering the best chemical resistance for a specific chemical. Color-coded tables summarize the chemical breakthrough performance of barrier materials against more than 1,000 chemicals.Selecting the most appropriate protective clothing is one of the most effective and efficient actions to prevent illness and injury from hazardous chemical exposure. It is critical to understand that the skin serves as a major entry route for chemicals into the body, causing risks such as cancer, genetic damage, skin irritation, burns, or sensitization.
