KleenGuard A70: Chemical Resistance Information Guide — KLEENGUARD* A70 Chemical Spray Protection (organized by ASTM F1186 class)
NT= Not Tested; Immed. = Immediate; ND = Not Detected; L = Liquid; G = Gas. Guide values differ from the 2015 TDS for Acetone (7.9 vs 6.90) and DMF (2.5 vs 2.54). Guide warning: 'This chemical passes Penetration testing but is considered a known/suspected human carcinogen or skin absorbed toxic chemical, and has a vapor pressure greater than 5 mm Hg at 77ºF (25ºC), as defined in NFPA 1992-2005 (paragraphs 4.1.11 and 4.1.12). These chemicals are considered both a liquid and vapor hazard. Suitability for use should be determined by a professional trained in industrial safety. Failure to comply with this warning can result in serious injury or death.' 'All permeation and penetration testing reported in this literature has been conducted by an independent laboratory in accordance with the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Methods.'
