Made
from a polyethylene-coated fabric thats lightweight and resistant
to many water-based liquids, greases and oils, and liquid chemical splashes
and sprays. REPEL® coveralls pass ASTM F903 penetration testing for
the wide range of liquid chemicals represented by ASTM F1001. REPEL®
passes the ASTM F1670/1671 testing for penetration of blood, body
fluids and blood-borne pathogens. Also, Californias Department of
Pesticide Regulation, a division of the state EPA, has approved REPEL®
Coveralls as chemical protection in pesticide applications. REPEL®
is an excellent lower-cost alternative for basic chemical splash protection.
Designed with no seams in the front of the garment (the primary splash
zone).
