For example, our SMS non-woven disposable protective clothing features a three-layer structure that combines excellent protection with breathability, making it ideal for various professional applications.
Types of Disposable Protective Clothing
Disposable protective clothing comes in various types, each designed for specific purposes and protection levels.
- Coverall Protective Suits: Suitable for work environments requiring full body coverage, such as laboratories, medical facilities, or factories with chemical risks.
- Disposable Gloves: Used for hand protection, commonly made from nitrile, latex, and PVC. Suitable for medical, cleaning, and food processing industries.
- Disposable Caps: Prevent hair shedding or contamination, widely used in food processing and operating rooms.
- Shoe Covers: Protect floors from contamination or prevent contaminants from being transferred from floors to other areas, suitable for hospitals, clean rooms, and laboratories.
When considering coverall options, the disposable protective clothing with SMS fabric offers superior tear resistance and durability, making it perfect for high-frequency operation scenarios.
Selection Criteria
When choosing disposable protective clothing, focus on the following key criteria:
- Material:
- Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight, breathable, suitable for low-risk environments
- Polyethylene (PE): Strong waterproof properties, suitable for liquid risk environments
- Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Good chemical resistance but poor breathability
- Size: Protective clothing that is too large or too small can affect protection effectiveness. Proper sizing reduces exposure risk and improves wearing comfort.
- Design: Hooded designs provide more comprehensive protection; elastic cuffs and ankles prevent contaminants from entering; zippers with wind flaps enhance sealing.
The SMS fabric protective clothing combines the benefits of multiple materials with its three-layer spunbond-meltblown-spunbond structure, offering both protection and breathability in one solution.
Selection for Different Industries
Each industry faces different risks, so the chosen disposable protective clothing should also differ accordingly.
- Medical Industry: Requires high-level microbial protection, such as EN 14126 certified protective clothing. Should choose breathable, non-woven material coveralls and medical-grade gloves.
- Cleaning and Sanitation Services: Chemical-resistant protective clothing, such as PE-coated protective clothing is more suitable. Gloves and shoe covers also need certain anti-slip and anti-tear properties.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Need to prevent dust, oil stains, or chemicals. Recommended to use protective clothing with EN 13982 standard, combined with wear-resistant disposable gloves.
- Food Processing: Emphasizes hygiene and contamination prevention, should use caps, masks, and gloves made from food-grade materials.

Performance Indicators and Certifications
Understanding protective clothing performance standards helps you make more professional choices:
- Protection Level: Such as EN 13034 (slight chemical liquid protection), EN 14605 (liquid splash protection), and EN 14126 (biological protection).
- Breathability (MVTR): High breathability can reduce wearer sweating, improving comfort.
- Durability: Includes tear resistance, puncture resistance, etc., ensuring effective protection throughout the entire usage cycle.
- Certifications:
- ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): Such as ASTM F1670 (resistance to synthetic blood penetration) testing.
- EN Standards (European Standards): Such as EN 1149 anti-static standard.
Our waterproof and oil-proof disposable protective clothing features high-density meltblown layers that effectively intercept droplets and non-oily particles while maintaining excellent breathability.
Proper Usage and Disposal
Even the best protective clothing cannot provide effective protection if used improperly.
- Donning Steps:
- Check protective clothing for any damage.
- Don in order from inside to outside, including gloves, clothing, face shields, and shoe covers.
- Ensure all openings are well sealed.
- Removal Sequence:
- Start from the most contaminated areas to avoid self-contamination.
- Use correct method to fold contaminated surface inward.
- Discard in dedicated medical or industrial waste containers.
- Storage Methods: Unused protective clothing should be stored in dry, sealed packaging, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environments.
Proper donning is enhanced by well-designed features like the elastic cuffs and secure front zipper found in our disposable protective suits, ensuring complete sealing and protection.
Economic and Environmental Considerations
When procuring disposable protective clothing, also consider cost and environmental impact.
- Disposable vs. Reusable:
- Disposable products are usually lower priced, but long-term usage costs may be higher.
- Reusable products have higher initial costs but more usage times, suitable for high-frequency use industries.
- Eco-friendly Materials: Choosing disposable protective clothing made from biodegradable materials or with recyclable packaging helps reduce environmental burden.
- Bulk Purchasing: Large-scale purchasing can reduce unit costs, but requires ensuring timely inventory turnover to avoid expiration or moisture damage.
For cost-effective, high-performance solutions, consider our SMS non-woven disposable protective clothing available in multiple sizes with bulk purchasing options for optimal value.
