Safety Considerations
IMMEDIATELY STOP WORK IF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (PPE) FAILS. If any item of the personal
protective equipment ensemble fails during use,
immediately cease work activity, retreat from hazard zone,
safely remove the PPE (may require decontamination
procedure), determine the cause of the PPE failure and re-
evaluate the selection and use of the PPE for that task.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the information in
this manual and all applicable governmental occupation
safety and health statutes. Serious injury or death may occur
from improper use of these garments. These garments must
be selected and used in accordance with applicable personal
protective equipment regulations, which in the United States
is 29 CFR 1910.132. For users of these garments outside of the
United States, consult national or other applicable personal
protective equipment laws and regulations.
Users must read this guide thoroughly and should take the
following precautions into consideration:
•
Avoid flame contact. These suits are not intended for
exposure to an open flame; however, Tychem
(Tychem
Reflector
) model RF600T and Tychem
®
®
10000 (Tychem
TK) models TK600T and TK601T
®
(worn with over cover provided) have been tested and
certified to the flash fire escape option of NFPA 1991,
Standard on Vapor-Protective Ensembles for Hazardous
Materials Emergencies.
•
Do not knowingly enter an environment in which the
concentration of flammable gas/vapor or combustible
dust is within flammable or explosive limits when
wearing a Tychem
garment, including RF600T, TK600T,
®
and TK601T. Retreat immediately if you encounter such
an environment.
•
No Tychem
garment, including RF600T, TK600T, and
®
TK601T, is intended for fire-fighting activities, nor for
protection from hot liquids, steam, molten metals,
welding, or thermal radiation. However, Tychem
6000 FR (Tychem
ThermoPro) fabric was tested to EN
®
ISO 11612:2015 (Protective clothing — Clothing to protect
against heat and flame — Minimum performance
requirements) and was rated as Class D1 for molten
aluminum and Class E2 for molten iron.

Good practice is to minimize, as much as possible,
continuous exposure to any known hazardous
substance.

remove (doff) the garment:
Fever
Difficulty breathing
Nausea
Excessive Tiredness
Dizziness
Numbness
Tychem
garments will not protect the wearer in all
®
situations and environments or protect the wearer from
all hazardous materials. A trained and qualified safety
professional must select the chemical protective clothing
and other PPE based on a hazard assessment. It is your
responsibility as a user of this garment to determine the
level of exposure and the proper personal protective
equipment needed. Many performance properties cannot
be tested by the users in the field. Refer to DuPont
SafeSPEC
(www.safespec.dupont.com) for information

Encapsulating Design Garments
Per EPA/OSHA guidelines, encapsulating suits may be
considered either Level A or Level B. Encapsulating
garments that pass the inflation test described in ASTM
