This tool aims to offer Ansell personal protective equipment (PPE) suggestions along with appropriate data on these products, based on the chemicals, hazards and conditions you selected. AnsellGUARDIAN® Chemical Advanced Product selector is designed to aid in product selection given a series of general conditions and Ansell’s experience on what are commonly the most suitable solutions. Every application is unique, what may be suitable for one application may not be suitable for another, and our laboratory testing cannot account for all workplace conditions or special hazards. Because of this, the information we supply in this process is intended to aid the Health and Safety professional at your organization with carrying out a risk assessment and is not designed to replace it. It is the responsibility of your organization’s Health and Safety professional to undertake a risk assessment before choosing the appropriate PPE for the task at hand.

For certain hazards, additional information has been supplied and accounted for in the product suggestions. Ansell in no way guarantees that this information is comprehensive, accurate, or all hazardous materials have been accounted for.

Any data supplied by Ansell including physical properties, normalised permeation times, penetration data or degradation data, is only relevant to the site under test and may not be applicable to all parts of the garment. Chemical ingress or physical properties may vary around seams, zips, visors or any other joins or components of the PPE unless that join or component is what was specifically tested.

In some cases, no single product or combination of products may satisfy all scenarios selected. In these cases, we suggest contacting us to speak with an Ansell representative on your options.

Some chemical data shown in this report are estimations based on currently available data and extrapolations from laboratory test results and information regarding the chemicals’ composition. Particular conditions in your workplace, including synergistic effects of mixing chemicals, may cause the performance of PPE to vary. Estimations are subject to change if new testing is carried out or new information is available providing better grounds for extrapolations. For these reasons, any information in this report is provided for informational purposes only and Ansell fully disclaims any liability including warranties (express or implied) related to any statement contained herein and/or the services being rendered.
