5. ENSEMBLE CONSTRUCTION, FEATURES,
AND FUNCTION
In order to know the function and limitations of your NFPA 1994 Class 2 and NFPA 1992
Compliant Ensemble, you should study its construction, features and function.
5.1 OVERVIEW
Your NFPA 1994 Class 2 and NFPA 1992 Compliant Ensemble helps protect you
against Hazardous materials incidents and Chemical/Biological Terrorism incidents.
5.2 trilaminate construction
Your NFPA 1994 Class 2 and NFPA 1992 Compliant Ensemble is made of a
trilaminate: a three-layer chemical/biological protective fabric, consisting of a
continuous fluoropolymer barrier film laminated between outer and inner
aramid textiles.
The woven outer textile and the knit inner textile provide strength and durability
to the chemical protective layer. This chemical protective fabric is not a
moisture-permeable or air-permeable barrier.
5.3 OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES (FIG. 2a1 and fig. 2a2)
Hood: Attached to Garment to protect head and neck from exposure). Provided
with a seal to interface with specified respiratory protection face piece.
Attached Glove System: 1 An inner glove and outer-glove system. Depending
on which model you have, your inner glove would either be sewn on; OR be
attachable via glove ring system. The inner glove provides limited chemical and
biological protection to your hands and wrists. The removable outer glove is
designed to provide limited protection from debris and flash fire as well as from
cuts and abrasion. (See also FIG. 2B; FIG. 2C.)
Both the inner glove and the outer glove must be worn together to comply
with NFPA 1994 Class 2 and NFPA 1992 Standards.
Closure Systems: 2 On the rear or front of the Garment.
The zipper must be fully engaged on the garment closure and the storm flap's
hook and loop closure secured.
Bootie: 3 Attached booties provide chemical and biological protection while your
recommended "outer boots" provide physical protection. Booties are designed
to be worn on the inside of your ensemble-certified outer boots. Booties should
never be worn as outer boots. (See technical data package for specific models
of certified outer boots.)
Reinforcements: 4 Provide important extra protection against cuts and abrasion
in high wear areas.
Labels: 5 There are two important safety and information labels, all located on the
inside of the Garment near the closure. The Danger and Cleaning Label provides
critical safety information and directs you to read and understand this Guide. The
label also explains the product information and wash instructions. The Certification
Label warns the user about the need to always wear the Ensemble with the proper
gloves, boots and respirator.
Samples of the labels are located on page 2 of this Guide.
