Criterias of choice
In order for the workwear to be not only of high quality and reliable, but also comfortable, special attention must be paid to its choice.
Despite the fact that disposable protective products have a limited service life, experts recommend paying special attention to the material of manufacture. Modern manufacturers use the following types of textiles:
- polyethylene;
- polypropylene;
- rayon fiber;
- meltblown;
- SMS.
Non-woven polyethylene products have the following positive features - soft and thin structure, high level of protection, low price range.
Polypropylene is a non-woven and very thin material, for the manufacture of which the spunbond method is used. Advantages - a high level of resistance to wear, low electrical conductivity, maximum resistance to temperature and atmospheric fluctuations, a wide range of colors, the presence of products of different densities.
In order to obtain viscose fiber, manufacturers process wood pulp. The main advantage of products made from this material is a high level of hygroscopicity. Meltblown is a unique material for protective disposable clothing, which is made by spinning by whipping raw fibers.
Advantages - a high level of protection against viruses, microbes and pathogenic microorganisms, the ability to use as a filtering material.
For work in areas with increased risks to life and health, experts recommend choosing products from this multi-layer material. When choosing disposable protective clothing, you must rely on the following criteria:
- for rooms with a non-toxic environment - breathable products;
- in areas with harmful toxic impurities - clothing made of filter materials;
- in rooms with toxic substances - insulating clothing that does not allow air to pass through.
The class of protective wardrobe directly depends on the time spent in contaminated conditions.
The correct determination of the size of the clothes is of no less importance. The selection of a working wardrobe must be carried out based on the following parameters:
- chest girth;
- hip girth;
- waist circumference;
- height.
In order to measure the girth of the chest, it is necessary to measure the most protruding part of the chest, taking into account the armpits. Experts recommend wearing underwear before taking measurements. To find out the girth of the hips, it is necessary to measure the protruding parts of the buttocks, and the type of underwear should be appropriate for the season and weather conditions.
Measurements are carried out in the same way in the waist area. When measuring height, it is necessary to straighten as much as possible and align the spine.
The development of technical progress and difficult environmental conditions significantly increase the human need for personal protective equipment. Given this factor, manufacturers are constantly working to improve products, as well as to develop new materials. However, the reliability of products depends not only on their quality, but also on the correct choice and size matching.
