Chemical Protection Suits and Accessories

Disposable chemical coveralls and accessories

The coveralls and accessories in this category protect against dust and liquid chemicals; all are antistatic to EN 1149-5 and certified to at least EN 13034 Type 6. The choice starts from the form of the substance and the intensity of exposure.

Types of protection

• Type 6 (EN 13034): light splashes and small quantities of liquid; PB[6] for overshoes, overboots and oversleeves.
• Type 5 (EN ISO 13982): airborne solid particles, such as process dust.
• Type 4 and Type 3 (EN 14605): tight against heavy spray and liquid jets.
• EN 14126: barrier against biological agents; EN 1073-2: contamination by radioactive particles, not protection from radiation.
• EN ISO 14116: the flame-retardant disposable coverall uses limited flame spread materials; with index 1 it must be worn over flame-retardant clothing.

SMS or microporous?

SMS fabric is more breathable, suited to dust and light splashes on long shifts; microporous fabric provides a stronger barrier to liquids. Disposable coveralls are sold in packs of 50, accessories in packs of 150 or 200 pairs. To deal with spills, pair them with spill kits.
