DuPont Announces New PPE App

Customized protective clothing recommendations for safety managers and end-users

DuPont has launched the new app version of DuPont™ SafeSPEC™, its online PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) selector tool. The app will help to enable busy safety managers and end-users to identify protective clothing for their application in just a few taps. DuPont™ SafeSPEC™ is an online selector tool that uses custom hazard parameters to identify PPE with the appropriate level of protection, whether the environment is a cleanroom or a petrochemical plant. Using SafeSPEC™ simplifies the selection process and makes it easier to identify workplace safety solutions, particularly when out on a job site.

SafeSPEC™ enables users to access a comprehensive database containing thousands of potential chemical threats and all the current PPE options available in the Tyvek^®, Tychem^®, and ProShield^® ranges of DuPont protective garments, including coveralls, aprons, shoe covers, and other accessories. Users simply enter basic hazard scenario information, and the app offers customized protective clothing recommendations.

A search can be initiated by entering the type of hazard or by following the on-screen guide to identify the most appropriate PPE options. Autofill fields allow users to effortlessly navigate through complex chemical names, making the process quick and efficient.

Once users have entered their hazardous environment details, their search can be saved for future reference. In addition to providing ‘once only’ data entry, SafeSPEC™ also can enable safety managers and other responsible persons to test different scenarios, ensuring that protection requirements have been considered for any eventuality. Once the scenario is created, users can easily share the recommended products for that scenario as a PDF.

The DuPont™ SafeSPEC™ app allows ready access to content, such as the latest product information, technical datasheets, and a regularly updated permeation database. This means all relevant product data is available in the hand, with already downloaded information available offline, can enable users to discover enhanced protection and make informed decisions on selecting chemical protective apparel anytime, anywhere.

DuPont™ SafeSPEC™ app is now available in 9 languages, as well as multiple localized formats.
