Hazards
Chemical hazards, heat and corrosion may damage the PFL. More frequent formal inspections are required in
environments with chemical hazards, heat and corrosion. Use caution when working around moving machinery.
WARNING!
• Use caution when working around moving machinery. Chemical hazards, heat, and corrosion may damage the PFL.
Any chemical exposure should be avoided, if possible. All chemical hazards should be accounted for prior to
beginning work.
• More frequent formal inspections are required in environments with chemical hazards, heat, and corrosion. As with
all chemical exposures, consult the safety officer for review and recommendations for decontamination. Cleaning is
strongly suggested - reference specific product cleaning guidance.
• Prior to use, the end user is responsible for testing the product in the environment and conditions in which it will be
used.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
The below chart should only be used as general guidance for product selection and does not indicate all possible chemical
exposures in the environment. Resistance ratings in the chart are determined for the materials relative to each other.
