We used to buy Nomex coveralls and coats when we poured off large quantitie s of solvents- here is a site http://www.coverallsale.com/nomex-lab-coats.htm Use in labs may be cost prohibitive- these run $80.00- I doubt all labs would think it a necessary PPE for normal lab applications. -Stefan Wawzyniecki University of Connecticut ________________________________________ From: DCHAS-L Discussion List [DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**list.uvm.edu] On Behalf Of Ralph Stu art [rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**UVM.EDU] Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 11:41 AM To: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: [DCHAS-L] Flame resistant PPE After reviewing a pyrophorics safety video, a chemistry faculty member had this question: >I think it would be good to provide people in our department with informat ion on which lab coats are most flame resistant and where to purchase them. Do you guys have that information handy? Various Google searches didn't produce anything particularly definitive in this regard. Does anyone know of a good source of information to answer thi s question with? Thanks for any help. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu
