Kleenguard Coveralls

Kleenguard coveralls and the micro-environment: comfort where it counts. There are numerous methods for measuring the protection a garment offers, but the issue of comfort has been more difficult to gauge quantitively. The question remains, how can you tell what the material tests will actually mean to the person working in the garment? Researchers are now starting to look at a new method for assessing the ability of a garment to feel comfortable when worn — the micro-environment inside a protective suit. The micro-environment, or the space btween the skin and the clothing, can tell you more about how the wearer perceives comfort than any analytical methods that measure the breathability of only the material. Within the micro-environment there are two factors that determine comfort: 1) humidity in the space between the skin and the suit 2) skin temperature The body's primary cooling mechanism uses the evaporation of sweat to dissipate body heat. A material capable of supporting this natural cooling cycle allows moisture to pass freely through to the exterior. As moisture leaves, a lower humidity level is recorded in the micro-environment. In controlled comfort studies utilizing simulated working conditions (moderate work rate at 300 Kcalories per hour for up to 90 minutes - equivalent to drilling or abatement work tasks) in warm and hot environments, Kleenguard SELECT and Kleenguard Extra were shown to have low micro-humidity over the duration of the work period. Lower micro-humidity means that the more sweat is evaporated through the material and the worker remains cooler, longer. A more comfortable worker can be more productive. These results were confirmed by working subjects who selected both Kleenguard SELECT and Kleenguard Extra coveralls as overall more comfortable than Tyvek.

REFLEX Coverall Design vs. Minimum ANSI Sizing

A serged seam is a basic stitched seam that's appropriate for exposure to non-hazardous substances. Overlap stitching provides strength and durability	A bound seam is a serged seam that is reinforced with binding for strength and tear resistance	A taped seam is serged, then reinforced with a film tape that's resistant to water and many liquid chemicals

Kimberly-Clark protective apparel features our unique, patented REFLEX coverall design which exceeds ANSI minimum standards. Kimberly-Clark garments with the REFLEX coverall design are larger and 7.5 times less likely to rip out vs. coveralls sewn to ANSI minimum sizing. That means they provide longer wear, which results in a lower cost-in-use and increased worker productivity. 9% more total yards of fabric 12% more chest room 6% longer body length 7.5 times less likely to rip out Seamless front - the seams are in back in order to provide more protection in the primary exposure area Elastic waist - an elastic waist on general protection coveralls acts as a belt for a better fit and increased comfort Generous cut - the shoulders and body (including the seat and crotch) have a fuller cut to enhance comfort while reducing pulls, tears and ripouts Sized to please - the REFLEX design is cut larger than ANSI minimums, which means you don't need to stock as many garments. Plus it's available in up to six versatile sizes for a greater range of wearers Unsurpassed detailing - all general protection coveralls feature three-thread overlap stitching for strength and durability Room to move - there's more fabric in key stress areas for greater range of motion
