FAQs
What specific safety standards does this coverall meet?

What is the material composition of the coverall?
The coverall is made from a 320gm² fabric blend consisting of 99% cotton and 1% antistatic fiber.
Can this coverall be worn over regular clothing?
Yes, it is designed to be worn as protective outerwear, typically over work clothes. Ensure no flammable materials are worn underneath.
How should I clean the coverall to ensure it remains protective?
Wash at a maximum of 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron at a medium temperature. Crucially, do not dry clean and avoid industrial detergents or softeners, as they can damage the protective properties.
Is this coverall suitable for all types of fire hazards?
This coverall provides protection against specific types of heat and flame exposure as certified by EN ISO 11612 and EN ISO 11611. It is not intended as protection against all fire scenarios, such as chemical fires or prolonged immersion in flame.
What does 'electrostatic properties' mean in this context?
It means the fabric is designed to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable materials or cause discomfort. This is important in environments where flammable gases or dust may be present.
What sizes and colors are available?

Troubleshooting
Coverall feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with protective fabrics. Ensure you are using appropriate detergents and avoiding harsh cleaning agents or excessive softening. A low-heat tumble dry might help restore some flexibility.
Seams appear to be weakening.
Inspect all seams for wear and tear. If significant weakness is observed, the garment's protective integrity may be compromised and it should be replaced.
Loss of antistatic properties suspected.
Antistatic properties can degrade over time or with improper washing. Ensure washing is done according to instructions and avoid fabric softeners. If performance is critical, consider replacement after extended use.
