4. Proper use
4.1 Intended use
The suit protects against chemicals in liquid, aerosol and solid form. It also protects against
infectious agents, i.e. bacteria, virus and fungi.
A risk analysis must be performed to determine the protection level and type of
protective clothing required before any work involving chemicals is performed.
Failure to comply with any of the recommendations given herein may result in
serious injury.
4.2 Limitations of use
• Never use the suits near open ames or intense heat
• The suit is not intended for reghting
• Avoid explosive environments
4.2.1 Antistatic properties
AlphaTec® 66-320 / 66-330 suit materials full the EN 1149-5 §4.2.1 (material requirements
for protective clothing with antistatic properties).
IMPORTANT: This information is not a claim that the complete garment is
antistatic or in any way safe to use with ammable liquids or vapors or explosive
atmospheres. The European standard on antistatic properties of clothing, EN 1149,
does not specify any method to evaluate a complete garment. If static charges are
a concern the suit may be sprayed with water before and during use to minimize
the risk of static charges accumulating.
4.3 Temperature of use
- 40°C to +65°C
The risk of heat stress must always be taken into account when working in
coveralls. Depending on the type of work and clothing this risk may be considerable
even at moderate ambient temperatures.
