FAQs

PP (Polypropylene): Basic dust and particle protection; lightweight and cheap.

PE-coated: Waterproof and fluid-resistant, used where splashes occur.
Q2: Are PP visitor coats sterile?
Usually non-sterile, meant for general visitor protection.
Q3: Can PP visitor coats be reused?
No, they are single-use only. Reuse would compromise cleanliness and protection.
Q4: Can PP visitor coats be worn in cleanrooms?
Only in low-risk, low-contamination areas. For high-grade cleanrooms, SMS or microporous coats are preferred.
Q5: Are there pockets?
Most PP visitor coats are pocket-free to minimize contamination risk.
