SMS Disposable Coveralls - Elastic Wrist, Open Ankle, 3-Layer Protection, Elastic Back, Zipper Closure (Case of 25) | Style 2222

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced SMS Technology:

• Three-Layer Construction: Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond (SMS) trilaminate nonwoven fabric combining the strength of spunbond outer layers with the superior filtration of the meltblown core layer
• Superior Particulate Barrier: Meltblown polypropylene core layer with microfiber structure provides exceptional filtration efficiency against dust, dirt, and airborne particles down to submicron sizes
• Bacterial Filtration Efficiency: High-quality SMS fabric achieves 70-90% BFE when tested per ASTM F2101 using Staphylococcus aureus biological aerosol (3.0 μm mean particle size)
• Light Liquid Protection: Outer spunbond layers provide splash and spray resistance for protection against non-hazardous liquid exposure
• Breathable Design: High air permeability and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) allows airflow while maintaining barrier properties, preventing heat stress during extended wear periods

Comfort-Focused Design:

• Elastic wrist cuffs provide secure, comfortable fit that adapts to wearer movement
• Open ankle design facilitates easy donning and doffing without compromising upper body protection
• Elastic back waist panel stretches with user movement for enhanced comfort during physical tasks
• Storm flap covers front zipper closure to prevent particle penetration at closure point
• Soft, cloth-like feel reduces skin irritation during prolonged wear

Professional Specifications:

• Material: Three-layer SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) polypropylene nonwoven fabric
• Fabric Weight: Typical range 45-60 g/m² (basis weight measured per ASTM D3776)

Technical Performance Data

• Tensile Strength (ASTM D5034): SMS fabrics demonstrate superior grab test breaking strength compared to basic polypropylene, with typical values 15-25 lbs in machine direction
• Tear Resistance: Enhanced tear strength from spunbond outer layers protects meltblown core from damage during use
• Abrasion Resistance: Durable construction withstands friction and contact with surfaces without compromising barrier integrity
• Bacterial Filtration (ASTM F2101): High-grade SMS achieves 71-90% BFE against 3.0 μm Staphylococcus aureus aerosol particles (compared to 13% for basic 17gsm spunbond polypropylene)
• Breathability: High air permeability allows for thermal comfort while maintaining protective barrier properties
• Lint Generation: Low-linting nonwoven construction suitable for controlled environments where particle contamination must be minimized

• General cleanup, decontamination, and facility maintenance tasks
• Visitor garments and temporary worker protection in controlled manufacturing areas

Why Choose SMS Coveralls?

Breathable Protection:

Unlike solid polyethylene or non-breathable laminates, SMS fabric's unique three-layer structure allows air circulation and moisture vapor transmission while blocking particles. The meltblown core layer acts as an efficient filter, while the spunbond outer layers provide mechanical strength and durability. This design reduces heat buildup and worker fatigue during extended wear, improving compliance and productivity.

Cost-Effective Solution:

Disposable design eliminates laundering costs, validation requirements, and risks of cross-contamination between work areas. Single-use coveralls ensure consistent barrier performance for each wearing without degradation from repeated washing cycles.

Professional Appearance:

Clean white color maintains professional standards in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments while making visual inspection for contamination easy.

Proven Performance:

SMS technology has been extensively tested and validated in medical and industrial applications. Testing per ASTM D5034 (tensile strength), ASTM F2101 (bacterial filtration), and other recognized standards ensures reliable, quantified protection levels.

Standards & Compliance

• ASTM D5034: Standard test method for breaking strength and elongation of textile fabrics (grab test) - applicable to woven, nonwoven, and felted fabrics including SMS materials
• ASTM F2101: Standard test method for evaluating bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of medical materials using Staphylococcus aureus biological aerosol - SMS fabrics achieve 70-90% BFE
• ASTM D3776: Standard test methods for mass per unit area (weight) of fabric - used to verify basis weight specifications
• ASTM F1670: Can be tested for resistance to synthetic blood penetration (when specified for medical-grade SMS)

Compliance & Safety

Important Usage Guidelines: Style 2222 SMS coveralls are designed for non-hazardous particulate protection and light liquid splash resistance in industrial and healthcare settings. This garment is NOT rated for:

• Chemical protection or hazardous substance exposure
• Flame-resistant or fire-retardant applications
• Bloodborne pathogen protection in surgical or high-exposure medical procedures (unless specifically tested to ASTM F1670/F1671)
• Respiratory protection (does not include respiratory protection; use with appropriate NIOSH-approved respirators when required)
• Asbestos or lead abatement work

Recommended Use: General industrial cleaning, light manufacturing, food processing (non-food contact), facility maintenance, healthcare environmental services, cleanroom garments (ISO 7-8), pharmaceutical manufacturing (non-sterile), and visitor/temporary worker protection in controlled environments.

Comparative Performance: SMS vs. Other Materials

SMS vs. Basic Polypropylene (Spunbond Only):

• Barrier Protection: SMS provides significantly better liquid and particulate barrier due to meltblown core layer
• Bacterial Filtration: 71-90% BFE for SMS vs. only 13% for basic 17gsm spunbond polypropylene (ASTM F2101)
• Durability: Comparable strength while offering superior barrier properties

SMS vs. Microporous Film Laminates:

• Breathability: SMS typically more breathable and comfortable for extended wear
• Barrier Level: Microporous laminates offer higher liquid resistance for splash-intensive applications
• Cost: SMS provides economical protection for applications not requiring maximum barrier performance

SMS vs. Coated Tyvek®:

• Comfort: SMS offers softer, more cloth-like feel with better drapability
• Cost: SMS is more economical for general industrial and cleanroom applications
• Chemical Resistance: Tyvek® provides superior protection for chemical exposure applications
