Protective coveralls

Protective coveralls in the catalog include disposable Type 5/6 suits such as the 3M 4510 and 4530 and the DuPont Tyvek 500 Xpert, Ansell AlphaTec chemical protective garments, and partial body protection such as the DuPont ProSafe XP3000 sleeve apron.

Chemical protective clothing is Category III PPE under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, and the type number is the first thing to check. Type 3 (liquid-tight) and Type 4 (spray-tight) are tested to EN 14605, Type 5 protects against airborne dry particles under EN ISO 13982-1, and Type 6 gives limited splash protection under EN 13034. Many disposable coveralls are certified as Type 5 and 6 together. Look also for EN 1149-5 where static is a concern, EN 14126 for infective agents and EN 1073-2 for radioactive particulate contamination.

Sourcing on Traxfair starts with one request: the coverall model or the type you need, the size split and the yearly volume. Verified European suppliers quote through our team, and every offer arrives in the same standardized form, so you are not comparing a per-box quote with a per-piece one.

Frequently asked questions

What does Type 5/6 mean on a disposable coverall?

It means the coverall passed two tests: Type 5 for protection against hazardous dry particles under EN ISO 13982-1, and Type 6 for light sprays and limited liquid splashes under EN 13034. Type 5/6 coveralls suit tasks such as insulation work or dusty cleaning, but not pressurized liquid jets or heavy spray, which need Type 3 or Type 4.

Do I need an antistatic coverall?

If the coverall will be worn in a potentially explosive atmosphere or near flammable solvents, look for EN 1149-5. The antistatic effect depends on the charge draining through the wearer, so the coverall must be worn with suitable antistatic footwear. Many disposable coveralls carry this marking, but whether you need it is a question for your risk assessment.

Are Type 3 and Type 4 suits single-use?

It depends on the material. Many Type 3 and Type 4 suits are designed for limited use and are disposed of after contamination, while heavier reusable suits can be decontaminated and worn again. The manufacturer's instructions state which applies. Note in your request whether you need limited-use or reusable suits, since they are different products with different specifications.
