Frequently Asked Questions about Light Protective Clothing

Question 1

For which purposes are light protective coveralls best suited?

Accepted Answer

A light protective coverall is an excellent choice for situations where the user's own clothes or skin need protection from dirt, dust, splashes, or fine particles. Typical applications include painting work, where the product acts as an effective spray painting coverall, preventing paint mist from sticking to undergarments. Additionally, these coveralls are popular in industrial maintenance, cleaning, and the preparatory stages of asbestos abatement, where protection against light chemical splashes is required.

Question 2

What material is SMS fabric and why is it used in protective coveralls?

Accepted Answer

SMS fabric is a multi-layered material consisting of spunbond fiber and meltblown polypropylene. This structure makes the material exceptionally breathable while simultaneously offering good protection against particles and liquids. A protective suit made of SMS material is comfortable for the user even during long-duration work, as it allows body heat and moisture to evaporate outwards while preventing external harmful substances from reaching the skin.

Question 3

How do I choose the right size when purchasing a disposable coverall?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right size is critical for working comfort and the effectiveness of the protection, as a disposable coverall is almost always worn over other work or casual clothing. We recommend choosing a size slightly larger than your normal clothing size so that there is enough air space inside the coverall and movement is unobstructed when squatting or reaching. A coverall that is too tight may tear at the seams during sudden movements, which immediately reduces the level of protection.

Question 4

What do the standards EN 13034 and EN 14126 mean in protective clothing?

Accepted Answer

These standards indicate the product's tested protective capability against specific risks. A chemical protective coverall complying with the EN 13034 standard offers limited protection against liquid chemicals, which means protection against small splashes and mist, but not against pressurized liquid or immersion. The EN 14126 classification, on the other hand, indicates that the protective suit protects against biological hazards, such as bacteria and viruses, which is important in work environments with a risk of infection.

Question 5

Is an antistatic protective coverall necessary in all jobs?

Accepted Answer

An antistatic feature is not necessary in all basic tasks, but it is an absolute safety factor in certain environments. An antistatic protective coverall is designed to prevent static electricity discharges that could cause a risk of sparking. This feature is needed especially when working with sensitive electronic components or in spaces containing explosive dust, gases, or vapors.

Question 6

Can a light protective coverall be reused or is it always disposable?

Accepted Answer

Most light protective coveralls are classified as disposable, which means they are designed for a single use or a single work shift. If the coverall has been exposed to hazardous chemicals, biological agents, or is heavily soiled, it must be disposed of properly immediately after use. A damaged or soiled protective suit no longer offers reliable protection, so using a new coverall is always the safest solution at the beginning of every work session.
