Chemical hazards: PPE and tools to help you choose them

Update 19.02.25

Chemical risk: many sectors affected

Chemical products pose risks to professionals, whether during their manufacture or their use.
their manufacture or use.


They are used in a wide range of sectors:


These products are used in a wide range of environments, from production sites to laboratories.


For the operators who work or move around in their presence, the health risks associated with chemical products can be numerous, ranging from simple irritation to burns, allergies, intoxication and, in the long term, possible risks of cancer.


So it's vital to guard against risks effectively when handling corrosive products, inhalable toxic substances or flammable liquids.
 

Chemical PPE: preventing chemical risks at work

Delta Plus has selected a range of PPE to help you protect yourself against chemical risks when handling chemicals.

 

Masks and goggles

Chemical molecules can take on many states (gaseous, liquid or solid in the form of microparticles), which makes them particularly insidious. Delta Plus therefore recommends appropriate eye protection with a high visor, or even a polycarbonate Irazu mask, which is watertight thanks to its flexible seals.

 

 

Respiratory protection

Certain operations (decanting products, maintenance or cleaning) can lead to a concentration of harmful pollutants or toxic fumes in the air. When this concentration reaches a certain threshold, it is essential to protect yourself with a respiratory mask. We offer a range of reusable masks with cartridges suitable for chemical environments.
 


Chemical protective gloves and clothing: Deltachem PPE

Our catalogue features almost thirty models of gloves dedicated to chemical protection, to meet a wide range of requirements. Classic or cuffed models, for use in dry or wet environments, with a composition designed to withstand the chemicals handled. The glove gauge must also be adapted to the operator's task.
For overall protection against exposure to chemical substances, you can opt for full-body suits with watertight seams - like the Deltachem suit, for example - and protect your feet from any splashes by wearing suitable PPE such as the non-slip disposable Deltachem overboots.

 

ATEX environment: antistatic PPE:     
                                                                    Handling chemicals can sometimes lead to the risk of explosion. In so-called ‘ATEX’ environments, where there is a high risk of explosion, it may be necessary to wear antistatic PPE to prevent sparks from being generated. This is the case with the Deltachem suit, but also with our Petro gloves. In this case, to prevent the risk of injury, a helmet and safety shoes to avoid shocks, as well as anti-acid and anti-fire clothing can be added.

Our Chem-D Finder tool: choosing your gloves and respiratory protection

Did you know? Delta Plus provides professionals who work in contact with chemicals with two Chem-D Finder search engines:


Each PPE model is referenced according to different criteria that you can select:

  • product name
  • Delta Plus reference
  • type of molecule it protects you against (name + CAS number*),
  • concentration of this substance for masks,
  • material for gloves (Latex, Nitrile, Neoprene, PVC) and exposure time.

The CAS number: a global reference for chemical substances

Our online tool shows the CAS number of each PPE product. This is a numerical designation assigned to chemical substances by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in the United States. Each number enables the exact identification of a substance.
It is used worldwide. The CAS database contains over 55 million different chemical compounds and is recognised by regulatory bodies.
 

To help you choose the right PPE to protect you from chemical hazards, you can consult our online Chem-D Finder tools, and don't hesitate to ask our Delta Plus advisers to help you make the right choices and finalise your order. As experts in prevention equipment, they will be able to guide you in selecting the PPE best suited to your business.
That's what Delta Plus's customised support service is all about : find out more about our approach.
