[labnetwork] Supplier for Silane and Chlorine PPE / Rating

[G. Casey Cahill]

Having visited Harvard's nanomaterials facility, and looking at
circumstances we may deal with here, some of the considerations below may
be helpful.  There's also some data attached on the ratings for Nomex from
Tencate Freestyle.  Hope this helps:


*Protective apparel*

Nomex lab coat be worn while manipulating quantities of liquid pyrophorics
over 10 mL or solid pyrophorics over 1 gram.

*Gloves*

Considering the use of Nomex/Leather pilot’s gloves - fire resistance
without compromising manual dexterity.  The pilots gloves may be worn over
nitrile gloves.

*Eye protection*

ANSI Z.87. 1 1989
