Microporous coveralls type 4/5/6 are a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in various industries to protect against hazardous substances and environments. They are designed to provide a barrier between the wearer's skin and potential contaminants, such as chemicals, dust, and pathogens.

 

Microporous material is a synthetic fabric composed of several layers of polypropylene that has been treated with a special coating. This coating allows the coveralls to be both breathable and waterproof while still retaining their protective properties. Microporous coveralls type 4/5/6 are typically composed of three layers: a non-woven inner layer that is soft and comfortable to wear, a microporous middle layer that protects liquid and particulate hazards, and an outer layer that repels water and most chemicals.

 

Type 4/5/6 refers to the specific level of protection provided by these coveralls. Type 4 coveralls provide protection against liquid splashes and sprays, Type 5 coveralls protect against airborne particles such as asbestos and silica dust, and Type 6 coveralls protect against light chemical splashes.
