Announcement posted by RCR International Pty Ltd 09 Nov 2010
RCR International distribute a wide variety of Pro-Val disposable coveralls that cater for many different industries and applications. When choosing a coverall for your industry there are many features and protection levels to consider.
Protection levels set by European standards enable you to determine if the coverall is designed to protect you against the hazards your application can pose. The coveralls are tested in a glass booth with the test subject being sprayed with either a coloured liquid or dry particles. The result is either a pass or a fail.
Type 4 - Barrier to saturation spray of liquids (EN 14605 and 468)
Type 5 - Barrier to airborne particulate materials and dust (EN 13982-1)
Type 6 - Barrier to limited splash and liquid spray (EN 13034)
EN1149.1 - Anti-static
Our disposable coverall range include coveralls that have been tested and meet the required standards to protect the wearer against certain hazards. We also have a Category 1 coverall that is suited against non hazardous dry particulates, dirt and grime.
The Pro-Val Hazguard MP4 disposable coverall is waterproof, made from breathable microporous fabric, with ultrasonic seams creating a waterproof barrier. This coverall is certified to meet the protection levels of Type 4, 5 and 6 as well as the EN1149.1 anti-static standard.
The Pro-Val Hazguard MP5 disposable coverall is water resistant, also made from a breathable microporous fabric with stitched seams for extra strength. This coverall is certified to meet the protection levels of Type 5, 6 and EN1149.1 anti-static standard.
The Pro-Val Hazguard SMS triple layer disposable coverall is made from non woven polypropylene, spunbond, meltblown and spunbond. This triple layer matrix acts like a filter to keep out smaller particels, i.e. asbestos. The coverall is water resistant and light weight, but with added strength and tear resistance due to its triple layer construction. It meets the Type 5 and 6 protection levels and is the coverall RCR recommend for asbestos removal.
The Pro-Val Hazguard PP single layer disposable coverall is made from non woven polyproplylene. Lightweight and breathable, this single layer coverall is an excellent solution for keeping clean, reducing decontamination and laundry costs. No water resistant protection and not deemed suitable for protection against a hazard. This coverall is ideal when limited protection is required such as removing insulation, waste management and car industry, food processing, veterinary and pharmaceutical.
