These protective garments are designed for limited use—they are durable enough to be used more than once, yet inexpensive enough to be economically discarded, thus saving you the time and cost of laundering.
The key feature of our protective garments is the material used in their construction. Non-woven Tyvek used in IsoClean garments is a highly effective contamination control fabric resistant to penetration by airborne particles, dirt, grease, biological agents and a broad range of chemicals. It is chemically and biologically inert, low linting and static dissipative.
The ProShield 2 non-woven material used in ProClean®garments features an outside polypropylene film lamination that provides an excellent protective shield, holding in 100% of all dry particulates down to 0.19 µm in size, while remaining breathable for additional worker comfort. This unique material provides the contamination protection associated with much more expensive, reusable garments. Like the IsoClean fabric, it is chemically and biologically inert, low linting and static-dissipative.
Tunnelized elastic at openings enhances particle containment by a secure fit and reduces the lint associated with exposed elastic. Tapered torso minimizes the "billowing effect" that can cause particulation. Rotated shoulders and curved back design improves comfort and allows easy movement when arms are outstretched. Extended sleeve and leg lengths minimize the potential for skin exposure.
Two seam options allow you to optimize your cost and containment needs. ProClean garments come with serged seams. IsoClean garments come with serged or bound seams. Both the Serged Seam and Bound Seam offer assured sterility with proper processing. You can order your garments uncleaned, cleaned, sterile, or cleaned and sterile.
