What is the service life of protective clothing?

Chemical protective clothing provides protection by isolating the user from the external environment. As it ages, chemical protective clothing will become stiff and its protective performance will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly test chemical protective clothing, and even if it exceeds its expiration date, it needs to be replaced.

What is the service life of chemical protective clothing? Most of the compartments of chemical resistant clothing are made of rubber, which gradually ages and hardens with use, thereby losing its anti slip effect. Generally speaking, the use period of chemical protective clothing is about 5 years, and it also needs to be checked regularly during use. Once the chemical protective clothing is found to be stiff and dry, it should be immediately stopped from use. For chemical protective clothing, even a slight aging may affect the protective effect, so it deserves attention. In addition to checking before each use, it is recommended that chemical protective clothing be tested once a year.

How to extend the service life of chemical protective clothing? Incorrect use, cleaning (refer to "How to Clean and Disinfect Chemical Resistant Clothing"), and storage can all damage chemical resistant clothing, thereby affecting its lifespan. Even if not in use, the normal storage time for chemical protective clothing is five years, and the isolation packaging can be stored for about ten years. When storing, it should be kept away from light, humidity, and other environments, and should not be stored in the same space as chemicals. A good storage environment is a well ventilated and dry warehouse with a temperature of 5 ℃~35 ℃ and a corresponding humidity of 40%~80%.
