Dave,
As Luis mentioned, the Workrite FR/CP coats are flame resistant and protect against a wide range of aqueous and (polar) organic chemicals. However, they’ve
also been discontinued because the fabric was manufactured using PFAS.

Hello Dave,

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
I have a recollection that about 3-4 years ago someone at a national meeting CHAS section presentation there was the description of a (“nearly universal”?) lab coat that would protect against fire, acids/bases, organics, etc. Can someone
point me towards a website that describes this?
Thanks,
Dave
