Hazmatch® Apparel Selection Tool
Our selection tool helps you make informed decisions about protective apparel.
Hazmatch is an easy-to-use protective apparel selection tool from Kappler that allows a user to choose an appropriate safety garment based on a specific chemical hazard and the exposure scenario. Hazmatch also allows a user to save search results to document a Hazard Assessment procedure, which satisfies OSHA requirements for this important procedure.

Get The HazMatch® App
Hazmatch® is ideal for emergency responders, safety managers or other professionals dealing with hazardous materials.
The app contains a database of tested chemicals, which the user can search by either chemical name or CAS number. Once a chemical is selected, a user completes a short questionnaire on the hazard situation (such as level and length of exposure) and Hazmatch will recommend a protective garment that matches the exposure criteria.
Sources for all chemical test data are independent laboratories. All tests were performed under laboratory conditions and not under actual use conditions. Tests were performed on material samples, not actual garments. All chemicals tested at >95% concentration and 75° F, unless otherwise specified.
All chemical test data shown is “permeation” based on ASTM F739, unless noted as “LIQUID PENETRATION” based on ASTM F903/F1671. Results displayed are in minutes. Select chemicals based on permeation when liquid and vapor protection is required. Select penetration when only liquid protection is required.
