The
purpose of Chemical Protective Clothing is the prevention
of chemicals potentially hazardous to skin and lowering
the risk of injury or illness.
A glove or a fully encapsulating gas-tight suits may
protect against one chemical very well, but perform poorly
against another chemical. On contact with a certain
chemical an effect as severe as dissolving of the
protective material may occur. Learn more about Chemical Protective
Clothing here.

in physical properties of protective
clothing is called degradation.
