Chemical resistant suits penetration

PERSONAL PROTECTION Wear a gas-tight, fireproof suit and compressed air/oxygen apparatus wear chemical-resistant gloves (Note rubber and plastic gloves are not recommended because pyridine and many of its derivatives penetrate these materials) wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-safety goggles. 

The elongation of the resin matrix should be greater than that of the fiber. It should have temperature capability, chemical resistance, and strength suited for the application environment. It must be easily processable into the final composite shape. The matrix must also wet and bond well to the fiber and flow to penetrate the fiber bundles and completely eliminate voids to achieve the properties mentioned above. 

Leather is often used as a material for protective clothing (as well as gloves and shoes) because of its properties. The protective suit must have good resistance to chemical penetration, to oil and to cutting.
