Product description
The coveralls consist of Tyvek material which is a non- woven fabric. Item #CVL-E-TVK features a full front zippered closure, elasticized cuffs and leg openings and a collar. Item #CVL-O-TVK features a full front closure, a collar and open cuffs and leg openings. The controlling factor in classifying the coveralls is whether its design features peculiarly adapt it for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas. Tyvek material is a special design feature which peculiarly adapts the garment for use with contaminants. Among the properties of Tyvek which adapts it for this use is its impermeability, chemical resistance, relatively slick polyethylene surface, high tensile/tear strength, and its good puncture and abrasion resistance.
