Chemical protective clothing winter maintenance tips

In the cold winter, chemical protection clothing as a protective front-line ‘fortress’, against chemical erosion at the same time, but also need to take care of fine, the following maintenance tips to help its performance ‘freshness’, guarding the user's safety.

cleaning and stain removal

Timely cleaning: after each use, should be cleaned as soon as possible while the chemical residues are not penetrated. In a well-ventilated greenhouse, use the appropriate cleaning agent to gently wipe the surface of the chemical protection clothing to remove stains and acid and alkali liquid traces. Pay special attention to the collar, cuffs, zips and other places that are prone to stains, as stains will remain and corrode the fabric, weakening the protective power.

Cleaning agent selection: cleaning can use soap, soap powder, 0.5 ~ 1% sodium carbonate aqueous solution or neutral detergent. Avoid using oxidising, corrosive or reactive decontamination solutions.

Drying method: wash and dry naturally, avoid sun exposure and drying to prevent fabric aging and deformation.

Inspection and maintenance

Check the fabric: unfold the chemical protection suit and carefully check the fabric for cracks and damages. Small scratches can be repaired in time with special repair adhesive and anti-chemical patches.

Zip and sealing: Check the smoothness and sealing of the zip, apply appropriate amount of silicone lubricant to ensure that it opens and closes freely and the barrier is tight.

Inspection of stitching: Check whether the stitching is offline, reinforce the loose parts to ensure the overall integrity.

Storage and Custody

Drying treatment: When it is idle in winter, dry it first, you can hang it indoor to dry for several days.

Storage environment: stacked or hung in a constant temperature (about 10 ℃ ~ 15 ℃), dry, light and ventilation of the special storage room. Keep away from heat and chemical volatilisation sources to avoid high temperatures causing fabric brittleness and chemical erosion ‘secondary damage’.

Hanging method: If you choose to hang, you should use a wide shoulder hanger to prevent shoulder strangulation marks from damaging the fabric. If stacked, folded in accordance with the norms, the middle can be paved moisture-proof paper, to extend the service life.

Precautions

Avoid direct contact with flame and melting materials: In the process of using the chemical-proof clothing, direct contact with flame and melting materials should be avoided to prevent carbonisation.

Regular airtightness check: Pay attention to ventilation and conduct regular airtightness checks on the chemical protection suit to ensure its protective performance.

By following the above maintenance tips, you can ensure that the chemical protective clothing stays in the best condition in winter and provides reliable protection for the users.
