Uvex 8997612 Protective Coverall, Blue, Type 5/6, Silicone-Free

The Uvex 8997612 protective coverall is a professional-grade garment engineered to provide reliable safety in hazardous industrial and laboratory environments. This blue, silicone-free suit is designed to protect the wearer against harmful particles and limited liquid splashes, ensuring safety without compromising on mobility. With a fabric weight of 55 g/m², it balances durability with a lightweight feel, making it suitable for extended use in various professional settings.

Advantages

This protective coverall stands out due to its exceptional wearer comfort, which is achieved through the use of breathable and lightweight SMS material that facilitates excellent moisture management. The design includes a gusset section in the crotch area and an elasticated waistband to ensure an optimal fit and unrestricted freedom of movement. Furthermore, the three-part hood and elasticated bands on the arms and legs provide a secure seal, while middle finger loops prevent the sleeves from sliding up during active tasks. The inclusion of a self-adhesive zipper flap adds an extra layer of security against contaminants, and the material is entirely free of silicone and paint wetting impairment substances.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing and assembly lines
• Laboratory work and chemical handling
• Maintenance and repair tasks in dusty environments
• Environments requiring anti-static protection
• Work in warm conditions where breathability is essential

This coverall may not be suitable for environments involving exposure to high-pressure liquid jets, heavy chemical saturation, or extreme heat and open flames. It is designed for limited liquid splashes and particle protection, so it should not be used as a primary barrier against concentrated hazardous chemicals or high-risk biological agents.
