ETI Launches Xposure Guard CX Suit for Enhanced Petrochemical Safety and Cost Efficiency

Traditionally, selecting the right chemical protective wear for safety and affordability has been a complicated process. When determining needs for your business, it’s important to understand the specific situations where PPE is required, and then ensure you’re purchasing the right protection for the job. That’s why the Xposure Guard line from ETI was developed – to not just meet, but exceed published safety standards while ensuring the best value for your company’s needs.

The New Xposure Guard CX Suit - Superior Safety, Exceptional Savings

Balancing budgets with safety needs for a wide array of situations and job site applications, having the right suit available when needed, and having that suit also be affordable has been an industry-wide challenge. The new Xposure Guard CX suit solves that challenge with a superior suit offering Level B and Level C protection, when paired with corresponding respiratory protection.

Priced competitively at $70 – $80 MSRP per suit depending on specific features, equivalent protection from any other brand starts around $90 MSRP without FR, and $140 with FR rating. Many of the competitor suits lack the FR rating, something that’s a safety requirement as the outer layer at most refineries.

When faced with the challenge of developing a safer suit for chemical protective wear, ETI drew on their years of experience, coupled with their world-class technological and production excellence, to take their Xposure Guard line to the next level, surpassing all expectations. With third party independent lab testing showing permeation rates beyond the standard 8h workday for all critical job site chemicals found in the most common petrochemical industry situations, the current standards were just the bare minimum. With the addition of the secondary FR rating, the Xposure Guard CX allows facilities to simplify ordering and job site needs, reduce space in storage closets, on work trucks and vans, and provide superior safety with exceptional savings that have never been available before throughout the industry.

When tested by an independent third party, the Xposure GuardCX suit outperformed nearly all others on the market at a more affordable price point, while also combining additional fire protection when worn over NFPA 2112 workwear. Xposure Guard CX Meets the NFPA 2113 requirements under Section 5.1.10 and is verified by extensive PyroMan Testing per ASTM F1930.

In addition to the robust chemical protection offered by the Xposure Guard CX product line, ETI’s revolutionary Best FitTM design features increased range of motion to help eliminate dangerous rip outs or similar suit failures due to motion limitations on job sites. The Best Fit design includes several key features designed to reduce friction and allow for full range of motion to reduce garment tears and failures while on the job site. The design not only benefits worker safety but also improves comfort and workers efficiency on the job.

Improved range of motion in the upper body and shoulders. (included on all coverall and jacket styles)

  • Sleeves are attached to the body in a forward & upward direction, instead of straight out to the side. This allows for the garment sleeves to naturally hang in an up and forward angle for better range of motion in all working situations.
  • Additional material is sewn into the armpits. This allows the sleeve to rise straight up without pulling on the armpit seam.
  • The shoulder seam is moved toward the neck. This feature allows for added shoulder rotation while not affecting the position of the coverall body.
  • The sleeve length was increased over standard length, allowing for the attachment of gloves to the sleeves while eliminating pull/fall down when reaching overhead.

Improved range of motion in the lower body (included on all coverall and bib styles)

  • Additional material is sewn into the rear and back of the coverall. This eliminates the stress/pull of the coverall across the back and buttock when bending down or kneeling.
  • The leg length was increased to allow the legs to fully cover the work boot even while climbing.
  • The crotch seam has been positioned higher than the competition to ease stress on that critical seam eliminating rip-outs while walking and climbing.

To improve coverage to the neck (only hood garments, style 122 and 127)

  • Positioned the zipper and zipper storm flap/s to end at the chin instead of the “V” of the neck. This allows for the respirator to be attached with tape directly to the coverall instead of bridging the gap from face mask to the “V” of the neck with tape.

Additional boot flaps with sock booties are added for all taped/heat sealed seamed 122 style coveralls to eliminate work boots from filling with any chemical hazards during jobs.

When reviewing the options for PPE, the new Xposure Guard CX lives up to the brand name in every respect, protecting your crew with unmatched protection from the largest range of chemical hazards, with the added secondary FR protection in the event of a flash fire.

ETI Launches Xposure Guard CX Suit for Enhanced Petrochemical Safety and Cost Efficiency

Revolutionizing Chemical Protective Wear on Job Sites ASHFORD, AL / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / Traditionally, selecting the right chemical protective wear for safety and affordability has been a complicated process. When it comes to protecting employees from job site hazards in petrochemical environments, having the right suit and the right level of protection is essential. With so many chemical suits on the market today, all providing different levels and types of protection, finding the right suit can be a challenge.

The New Xposure Guard CX Suit – Superior Safety, Exceptional Savings

Balancing budgets with safety needs has always been a challenge that companies face across any chemical industry, however those challenges grow exponentially when discussing specific applications for the petrochemical industries and hazmat response. With needs for a wide array of situations and job site applications, having the right suit available when needed, and having that suit also be affordable has been an industry-wide challenge.

The new Xposure Guard CX suit solves that challenge with a superior suit offering Level B and Level C protection, when paired with corresponding respiratory protection. When tested by an independent third party, the suit outperformed nearly all others on the market, while also combining added secondary FR protection from a flash fire in a single suit. To find comparable protection on the market today, you’d have to combine anywhere from 1-3 different layers of suits or purchase a suit priced at nearly 2x the cost of Xposure Guard CX.

Priced competitively at $70 – $80 MSRP per suit depending on specific features, equivalent protection from any other brand starts around $90 MSRP without FR, and $140 with FR rating. Many of the competitor suits lack the FR rating, something that’s a safety requirement as the outer layer at most refineries.

When faced with the challenge of developing a safer suit for chemical protective wear, ETI drew on their years of experience, coupled with their world-class technological and production excellence, to take their Xposure Guard line to the next level. The Xposure Guard CX surpasses all expectations. With third party independent lab testing showing permeation rates beyond the standard 8h workday for all critical job site chemicals found in the most common petroleum industry situations, the current

standards were just the bare minimum. With the addition of the secondary FR rating, the Xposure Guard CX allows facilities to simplify ordering and job site needs, reduce space in storage closets, on work trucks and vans, and provide superior safety with exceptional savings that have never been available before throughout the industry.

When compared to other protective garments on the market, Kappler Innovation is reducing risk exposure with a multi-purpose garment providing primary chemical protection with secondary FR. This new item is compliant with NFPA 2113 (Section 5.1.10), but only when worn over NFPA 2112 workwear. It has been proven by ASTM F1930 Pyroman testing.

Another competitor, DuPont, makes the Tychem® line of protective wear. In the event that a flash fire occurs, Tychem® 6000 SFR garments won’t contribute to additional burn injury if appropriate primary flame-resistant personal protective equipment, such as DuPontTM Nomex®, is worn beneath. That means in order to match comparable protection offered by Xposure Guard CX, the worker would need to wear both the Tychem® 6000 SFR along with primary flame-resistant PPE underneath.

When tested by an independent third party, the Xposure GuardCX suit outperformed nearly all others on the market at a more affordable price point, while also combining additional fire protection when worn over NFPA 2112 workwear. Xposure Guard CX Meets the NFPA 2113 requirements under Section 5.1.10 and is verified by extensive PyroMan Testing per ASTM F1930.
