Coveralls provide full protection against dirt, dust and biological agents

Published: 19-Mar-2009

UK safety equipment provider uvex has launched three products in a new line of high-performance disposable coveralls that scale new heights in protection standards.

The uvex sil-Wear range of coveralls can be used in a diverse range of applications, including industrial cleaning, work with paints, varnish and chemicals, and also in environments containing hazardous biological agents. It offers highly functional protective equipment, including disposable suits to protect against dirt and dust, and special protective equipment to shield against viruses and bacteria.

Ergonomic designs, ultrasonically-sealed seams and clever features, such as an innovative velcro system for secure attachment of the hood and filtering face mask, ensure optimum comfort.

The uvex sil-Wear type 3B ensures a highly protective barrier against biological agents and a wide range of chemicals. Its AgPURE active layer, which is activated by normal humidity levels, provides surfaces with a bacteriostatic coating to protect them against bacteria, fungi and viruses, reducing the growth of existing micro-organisms by almost 100%.

The uvex sil-Wear Type 3 also protects against a wide range of chemicals. It features a two-layered zipper flap with velcro and adhesive tapes for optimum safety at the critical points and a system for attaching the mask for optimum face coverage. The hood is adjustable for individual needs in any situation.

The uvex sil-Wear Type 5/6 is made of breathable, light polyethylene laminate that provides a high level of moisture management and breathability without reducing protection. The bound seams ensure a high level of protection against liquid splashes and solid particles. The hood is compatible with a filtering face mask, while middle-finger loops prevent the sleeves from riding up so that work may be carried out above head height.
