When most people think of disposable protective garments, they often don't realize that items such as protective pants and coveralls are available in different brands with different qualities. This makes them more versatile for many different industries to keep you safe and comfortable. Tyvek, Kleenguard, and MaxShield are three of the leading brands you have to choose from.
Kleenguard Coveralls
Seen most often in the aerospace, pharmaceutical, maintenance, and manufacturing industries, Kleenguard is a quality brand that protects against light chemical splash and small particulate matter. These suits are made from a polypropylene material that is abrasion resistant and feels very similar to regular cotton fabrics.
To improve the security and comfort level of these suits, they have a flap covering the zipper and elastic threaded through the back of the clothing. The material features new technology to make it antistatic with superior tear resistance. This apparel is also available with options -- straight coveralls, elastic cuffs, shoe protection, and attached hoods.
MaxShield Protective Garments
With similar construction to Tyvek, these two brands have similarities and a few differences. MaxShield's outfits are constructed of layers of micro porous polyethylene that resists particulate matter and liquid splash. At the same time, they are comfortable and soft to wear while weighing in a half ounce more per each yard of fabric due to its thicker make up. The length of the material isn't quite as strong as its disposable counterpart. What it loses in that direction, it gains in the strength of its width and with pre-existing holes. The cut of the suits themselves have additional material in lower half of the torso to give the wearer more maneuverability.
Tyvek Protective Pants, Shirts, And Coveralls
Available in one-piece suits, protective pants and shirts, boot covers, aprons, coats, and several other products, Tyvek products allow you to customize your style of safety apparel. This makes them ideal for a variety of uses including asbestos cleanup, automotive, lead, agriculture, and mining.
All of the items are made from high-density polyethylene in one layer. Your body has the ability to breathe while releasing moisture off the skin to keep you comfortable. At the same time, it protects you against particulate, paint, bloodborne pathogens, and aerosols to name a few. What is unique about the material is its strength and level of resistance against wear and tearing while still being economical and affordable enough to make them a cost-effective disposable.
These three brands do have one consistent option among them, and that is the fact that they all come in a recyclable version. With this process, distributors collect, clean, refurbish, and thoroughly test the protective garments before offering them back up for sale at a reduced rate. Whether you select MaxShield or Kleenguard protective garments or Tyvek protective pants, you can be assured that you will be safe and comfortable.
