Fabric Types
-
-
‘SMS’ can be layered differently to adjust the protective and physical properties of the material. Standard SMS-material is very breathable and offers a good barrier against dusts and limited liquid splashes. If treated, as 3M’s Protective Coverall 4532+, an enhanced level of splash protection can be achieved.
-
‘Microporous laminates’ offer a higher level of liquid splash protection, while the micropores allow for some breathability.
-
'Non-microporous laminates' can often offer a higher level of liquid and chemical protection as they are without micropores.
