WHY CHOOSE THE BEST IN PERSONAL PROTECTIVE APPAREL?

        The right protective garment assists in reducing worker injury and minimizes the risk for accidents. Choosing protective
        garments made with GORE  Chemical Splash Fabric provides exceptional liquid splash protection while maintaining
                                  ®
        maximum comfort, meaning workers won’t resist wearing them.


        THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE PROTECTION

        The key to the superior performance found in our protective garments made with GORE  Chemical Splash Fabric is
                                                                                          ®
        the expanded PTFE-based GORE  membrane, which provides liquid chemical penetration resistance and moisture
                                        ®
        vapor permeability at the same time.

        GORE  Chemical Splash Fabric is a durable 3-layer laminate fabric consisting of an outer fabric, a GORE  membrane,
              ®
                                                                                                        ®
        and an inner fabric liner. The outer and inner fabrics protect the membrane while providing durability, tear resistance, water
        and stain repellency as well as visibility. All of which are important elements in working within a chemical environment.



        PROTECTION THAT OUTPERFORMS THE COMPETITION

        Protective garments made using GORE  Chemical Splash Fabric provides liquid splash protection while
                                             ®
        maintaining comfort. Clothing made from this exceptional fabric allows the body to ‘breathe,’ so your sweat can

        evaporate through the GORE  membrane, providing relief from heat stress. Because it is lightweight and comfortable,
                                   ®
        it can be worn for an entire shift without excessive overheating.

        Vinyl or rubber suits on the other hand, are often made using coated materials which are hot and heavy to wear.

        Workers are uncomfortable in this type of garment, and with prolonged wear, will often become sweaty, sticky,
        exhausted, and in extreme cases even disoriented.

        Choose a product which meets chemical penetration resistance and excels in comfort. Choose Lac-Mac Chemical

        Protective Products made with GORE  Chemical Splash Fabric. Protective garments made from this unique fabric
                                           ®
        allows the time necessary to exit the area and follow emergency protocol in case of an accidental splash with a
        dangerous chemical.



        ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES

        Seams are vulnerable areas prone to chemical penetration. Our garments are sewn using Tenara  thread, which is
                                                                                                ®
        thermally stable and chemically inert, preventing seam failure during a chemical splash. All garment stress points are
        reinforced. In addition, all our garments are seam-sealed using GORE-SEAM  tape providing consistent performance
                                                                              ®
        against liquid penetration.
