Zytron
®
Zytron® 100XP
Zytron® 100XP garments provide excellent physical strength and basic chemical resistance, ideal for applications where workers need protection from dry particulates, light splash, paint spray and similar aerosols.
Typical Applications: Acid handling, tank cleaning, petrochemical operations, agrichemical mixing/applications.
Zytron® 200
Zytron® 200 ups the protection level for chemical workers through increased resistance to a wider range of chemicals and greater physical strength — especially valuable in applications where rip-out is a concern due to more demanding work conditions.
Typical Applications: Chemical handling, petrochemical operations, hazardous material clean-up and remediation.
Zytron® 300
Zytron® 300 is ideal for demanding hazardous applications where there is potential for chemical splash, even in significant exposure scenarios, as well as for biohazard applications. Excellent physical strength and broad chemical holdout take the protection level of this fabric up a serious notch. With an extensive chemicals-tested list, Zytron 300 is a real workhorse of the Zytron family, available in a wide range of garment types including NFPA certified styles. In addition, Zytron 300 fabric and seams have been tested for blood and viral resistance in accordance with ASTM F 1671 and show passing results.
Typical Applications: Hazmat response, military operations, law enforcement drug response, chemical handling, petrochemical handling and maintenance.
Zytron® 400
Zytron® 400 is one tough customer, with excellent physical properties. It's also a bargain by comparison, with a broad range of chemical protection typically found in garments costing much more.
Typical Applications: Chemical handling, petrochemical operations, hazmat response and clean-up.
Zytron® 500
Zytron® 500 is the classic emergency responder choice for hazmat response and other demanding situations. It's tough, built for mobility, and based on patented technology that created the first material to survive eight full hours against the ASTM F1001 Test Battery with no breakthrough. Greater than 8 hr holdout against Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA).
Typical Applications: Hazmat response, chemical handling, refueling operations, petrochemical refinery operations, hazardous material clean-up and remediation, CWA incineration, remediation and disposal.
