Made from a polyethylene-coated fabric that’s 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, California’s 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).
