Suits also provide coverage from overhead liquid splash (does not provide vapor protection). Taped seams provide strong chemical resistance against heavy liquid splashes. A sewn seam is covered with a strip of compatible chemical-resistant material through heat sealing. Standard faceshield is made from 20 mil PVC.

Expanded back to accommodate self-contained air breathing apparatus (SCBA) flap covers zipper, which can be secured by the wearer with rugged hook and loop material to prevent intrusion at zipper. Elastic openings at wrists allow for a tighter fit. Attached flaps are designed to cover boot tops to help reduce potential for liquid intrusion.
