D59 SAFETY OFFICERS SUIT PANTS

Dromex® D59 flame and acid treated officers’ style jacket and pants
is designed to protect the user from the hazards of accidental flame
contact and acid splashes, reducing injury when working in hazardous
environments.
The Dromex DW-D59FAOR pants and jacket is approved to the latest
SANS 434 specification and has the SABS permit marking.
The D59 drill fabric construction is heavy duty and durable, whilst the
flame acid garment treatment technology resists the effects of flame
contact and acid corrosion offering the user offer essential protection
in the workplace.
The 100% cotton satin weave finish and natural fibre construction makes
this garment comfortable and breathable.

Acid resistance for protective clothing against liquid chemicals for
performance requirements for chemical protective clothing offering
limited protective performance against liquid chemicals.
The acid resistant finish is primarily a liquid proof coating that is not
destroyed by the action of acids or other chemicals. It doesn’t allow the
cloth to be wetted by the acids and is therefore “acid resistant”:
The test chemicals are:
• Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) 32%
• Sulphuric Acid (H₂SO₄) 24%
• Nitric Acid (NHO₃) 65%
• Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) 40%
There is no SANS specification for Acid Resistance therefore alternate
testing is done in the absence of a national standard. The tests are
done to the ISO 6530:2005 and the chemical selection and
concentration to the withdrawn DIN32763 standard.
