3 Tips for Choosing the Best Coveralls
Coveralls that are comfortable, durable, and functional are the building blocks of protection at the workplace. But how do you know which ones are the best for your workers? At Total Source Manufacturing, we offer these 3 tips for choosing the best coveralls for your commercial facility or laboratory.
Identify Environment
The first step in choosing the best coveralls for your employees is to identify any potential hazards in the environment. Is splash protection needed? What kinds of chemicals or liquids could be splash hazards? Do you need low lint? Is breathability an issue to keep workers from overheating? How durable does it need to be?
Choose Fabric
Secondly, consider which fabric best addresses the environment you have already identified.
· Spunbound polypropylene is durable, economical, and low-lint. This fabric makes up the Advantage I coveralls.
· Spunbonded-meltblown-spunbonded (SMS) fabric protects against both dry particulates and water or light chemical splashes. Lightweight, soft and breathable, this fabric offers improved strength and comfort. The Advantage Pro coveralls are made of SMS fabric.
· Polyethylene-coated polypropylene fabric is the best for water-based and some chemical liquid protection. It is lightweight and durable. The coating of polyethylene on the exterior helps protect against particulate release while repelling splashes. The Advantage Plus coveralls are the premier choice in this fabric.
· Microporous film bonded with nonwoven fabric is a combination that allows maximum breathability while still retaining dry and wet barrier repellency. In general purpose situations with dirt, dust, spray and non-toxic liquid, this fabric is very popular. Strong, lightweight and soft, this fabric is perfect for hot environments. Advantage MPC coveralls are treated with an anti-static agent, making them an ideal choice.
Choose Coverage
Finally, determine how much coverage you want with your coveralls. Coveralls that cover the torso, arms and legs can be paired with detachable hoods and booties for full coverage. Or, you can select coveralls that come with an attached hood and boots.
