D59 FLAME & ACID SUIT (DW-D59FA)

Dromex® D59 flame and acid treated jacket and pants are 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-D59FA 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 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 (HNO₃) 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the withdrawn DIN32763 standard.
