 The LAW
OSHA 1910.132 requires that an employer assess their workplace to determine the hazards present and which personal protective equipment (including Clothing) is required.
 The ESSENTIALS
DISPOSABLE COVERALLS
Coveralls are available in a variety of different fabrics. Choose the style that’s best for your specific application.
Spunbound Polypropylene
- Main advantages are economy, comfort and breathability
- Provides light, non-toxic fluid protection
SMS
- Provides an optimal mix of protection and comfort
- Appropriate for extended-wear jobs involving low to moderate non-toxic fluid contact
Coated Polypropylene
- Ideal for many situations demanding a higher level of splash protection
Polyethylene
- Impervious to moderate non-toxic fluid contact
- Provides excellent dry particle and aerosol protection at an affordable cost
- Minimal breathability, but very durable
Coated Polyethylene
- Regular Tyvek coated with a layer of impervious polyethylene
- The coating is essentially a thin film of melted plastic that keeps chemical splashes from leaking through the Tyvek
RAINWEAR
The coating of a rainsuit determines the chemical resistance, flexibility and durability.
PVC
- By far the most common rainsuit coating
- Economical and effective for a wide range of chemicals
Polyethylene
- More chemical resistant than PVC
- Stays flexible in cold weather
Neoprene
- Excellent chemical resistance in petrochemical environments
- Stays flexible in cold and heat
Rubber
