The Quick Selection process in this guide contains three steps.
They are:
- Go to the Chemical Index in section III and find the chemical of interest. Ensure you are looking for the correct chemical by checking synonyms/CAS numbers. Also check the Risk Code to determine the hazard of the chemical.
- Use the Chemical Class Number in the Chemical Index to look up the chemical in the color-coded table--The Master Chemical Resistance Table in section IV.
- Go to the identified Chemical Class Number in the color-coded table to find the chemical of interest. Select the barrier material that best protects the users against exposure to the chemical.
