SMS Disposable & Work Coveralls

In plain words. Coveralls are sold by what they are made of and what they are rated for. Disposable coveralls (polypropylene, SMS, microporous film such as Tyvek) are rated for dry particles and light spray; chemical coveralls for splash; FR coveralls (Nomex, FR cotton, modacrylic blends) for flash fire or arc flash with an arc rating; cleanroom coveralls for low linting. The manufacturer states the fabric, the closure (zipper, snaps), whether it is hooded, and the standards it is tested to.
