Heat Stress is a Serious HazardHeat stress is a serious hazard to wearers of chemical protective clothing. In some cases, heat stress may be even more dangerous than the chemical hazard itself. To release heat, your body sweats, and when the sweat evaporates, your body is cooled. Film materials such as vinyl or rubber protect against accidental contact with liquid chemicals but do not provide relief from heat stress. GORE® Chemical Splash Fabric provides liquid splash protection while maintaining comfort. Clothing made from this fabric allows your body to breathe, so your sweat can evaporate through the GORE® membrane, providing you with some relief from heat. stress. Because it is light and comfortable it generally can be worn for a full shift without excessive overheating. |
