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.
