Chemical Splash Protective Suit

When the job involves real chemical splash risk, you want a suit that balances serious chemical holdout with excellent physical strength. Kappler Zytron® 300 (Z300) is a performance fabric range designed for demanding hazardous applications – including petrochemical handling and maintenance, HazMat response, and specialist operations where durability matters.

It’s also selected for biohazard applications, the fabric and seams have been tested for blood and viral resistance and achieved passing results (testing referenced to ASTM standards).

• Built for chemical splash scenarios – suited to demanding tasks where splash exposure is possible (including significant exposure scenarios).
• Excellent strength – designed for hands-on work where tearing and abrasion can become the weak point of PPE.
• NFPA-certified style options available – ideal when your site requires certified garment styles for response or industrial compliance.
• SMART™ label + QR chemical data – quick scan access to chemical test data and suit details to support safer PPE selection on site.
• Practical garment features (style dependent) – including rear-entry configurations for front-splash scenarios, plus glove and boot options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zytron® 300 a fully encapsulating gas-tight suit?

Zytron® 300 is a fabric family used across multiple garment types – from coveralls through to encapsulating styles. The right choice depends on your hazard assessment (liquid splash vs vapour hazards, required certification, and the respiratory system used).

How do I confirm it’s suitable for my chemical?

J3Seven can help you interpret the data and select the correct style/seam configuration.

Does Zytron® 300 contain PFAS?

The Zytron® 300 fabric does not contain PFAS chemistry. For some gas-tight styles, PFAS may still be present in certain lens materials (style dependent) – so it’s worth confirming the exact suit configuration if PFAS-free components are required.
