Coverall Materials
It has been called to my attention today that many people have questions about coveralls, more specifically materials and what the differences are. Largely, coveralls fall into one of four different catagors: Micro-Porous Film, SMS, Spunbonded Polypropylene and PE Coated.
Micro-Porus Film over Spunbonded Polyproylene (MPC) has a soft feel, higher breath ability, and comfort while wearing. It can be used in any non-hazardous applications to protect against dirt, light liquid splashes and particles. Some common brands are DuPont Tyvek, PermaGard and most products with the buzz phrase "Breathable Barrier".
SMS - Spunboned/Meltblown/Spunbonded polupropylene has a quick moisture transmission to keep the user dry and cool. SMS is a strong durable material that provides non-hazardous particulate protection (does not work well for splash protection).
Spunbonded Polypropylene - the most economical solution for general applications. Ideal for light spray painting applications and sundries. Non-hazardous particulate protection (does not work well for splash protection).
Polyethylene Film over Spunbonded Polypropylene - a polypropylene coverall that has been laminated with a polyethylene film, making it water-proof. PE Coated is an economical alternative for splash protection in a non-hazardous environment.

CE Rating Number Code
On a recent job I came acrossed a glove with a CE rating of 4344. Since many people are not usre how you read this number, here it goes
First Number in this case : 4 - This is the abrasion rating
Second Number in this case : 3 - This is the cut rating
Third Number in this case : 4 - This is the tear rating
Fourth Nuber in this case : 4 - This is the puncture rating
If you have any further questions, please contact us through our website.

Cut Levels of Gloves
It has come to my attention recently that several people out there have question as to the different levels of of cut protection and how they are calculated.
Protection Level 1: 10-35 ounce of force needed to cut through this material (thin kevlars, thick cottons, etc...)
Protection Level 2: 35-70 ounce of force needed to cut through. (majority of your aramid fibers fall in to this catagory)
Protection level 3: 70-100 ounce of force needed to cut through. (thick aramid fibers often will have some leather patches etc.)
Protection level 4: over 100 ounces of force. (Synthetic fibers, typically reinforced with other materials, Kevlar, leather etc.)
There has been some discussion on creating a level 5 standard and some companies will even rate gloves, and sleeves as a level 5 but it has not been standardized other than it must exceed the 100 ounce test.
On a side not in the united states most gloves are tested for cut and abrasion resistance primarily. In Europe the glove under go a further testing for puncture resistance, so many time when you see a puncture rating it may not have been granted under ANSI standards. Also European standards for cut resistance are slightly easier than American, so when purchasing I recommend you look to go up a cut level if available.
