With the continuous development of the chemical industry, chemical solutions are also closely related to us. Chemical protective clothing is the most common one in body protection products. What should we pay attention to when using chemical protective clothing in the petrochemical industry?

The following precautions for use of chemical protective clothing are explained in terms of its use time limit, storage method, shelf life of chemical protective clothing, and daily use of chemical protective clothing.

First, the use of chemical protective clothing time limit

At present, all chemical protective clothing, except for different levels of protection, has very strict regulations for the concentration of protective chemical substances and the protection time. Taking an example of a domestic made chemical protective clothing as an example, it can ensure that the protective performance of the air breathing apparatus worn before use is not changed. When the penetration resistance time has been reached, it must be evacuated from the scene; before it must be re-entered the scene, it should be carried out Decontamination treatment until it can return to normal protection level before use.

Second, storage

As a special-purpose rubber product, chemical protection clothing has special requirements for its storage, and the pull or compression of the rubber surface leads to a decrease in protective performance and even loss of protection. In addition to keeping dry and ventilated at ordinary times, the method of placement is very important. In the warehouse, there are conditional application-specific hangers for inverted suspension. When the conditions for storage and storage on vehicles are limited, they should be stored as flat as possible. (Extended reading: How to clean chemical protective clothing)

Third, chemical protective clothing shelf life

Any protective product has its specific validity period. The chemical protective clothing belongs to rubber products. The natural aging is far faster than other products. Even if the domestically-enclosed chemical protective clothing is not used, the normal storage period is 5 years. In fact, any type of chemical protective clothing, if not vacuum-packed, does not have a shelf life of more than ten years. Because the time is too long, the aging of chemical protective clothing will reduce its protection level. If it is necessary to extend the service life of chemical protective clothing, Must be tested by the manufacturer or specialized technical department, in order to extend the service life within a certain period of time.

Fourth, the use of training chemical protective clothing

Many operators are afraid that they will not use chemical protective clothing in actual combat and frequently wear chemical protective clothing during training, drills, and performances. In fact, the performance of any protective product is declining with the increase in the number of uses. Excessive use of chemical protective clothing at ordinary times will not only severely reduce the service life of chemical protective clothing, but also reduce the degree of protection. Can not play its due role in actual combat.

In normal training and drills, the same training wear as the standard, model, size and weight of chemical protective clothing should be promoted. If there is no condition for the time being, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between actual combat clothing and training clothing, and to minimize the number of use of chemical protection suits, so as to ensure that "good steel is used at the edge."

Finally, to remind everyone that different types of chemical protective clothing use environment is very different, you must first check the instructions or consult the supplier before use. The protective capabilities and uses of chemical protective clothing must be clearly defined in accordance with national standards and industrial standards.
