When we think of chemical protective clothing, the image of a full-body, sealed coverall often comes to mind. However, for many industrial and laboratory applications, a more versatile and comfortable option exists: chemical protective clothing consisting of a coat and trousers.
This configuration, also known as a partial-body (PB) suit or a two-piece ensemble, is a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers facing splash hazards without the need for full encapsulation. Let’s explore what defines this type of gear and introduce a high-performance solution from Henglu Protective Equipment.
Understanding the Two-Piece Chemical Protective Ensemble
A two-piece system of a protective coat and trousers is not merely separate items but a co-engineered kit designed to work in unison. It falls under specific international standards, most notably EN 14605. This standard defines “Type PB” (Partial Body) equipment, which must provide a certified protective overlap—typically at least 20 cm—between the jacket and the trousers to prevent liquid ingress during movement.
This design offers distinct advantages:
-
Enhanced Mobility & Comfort: Greater flexibility for tasks requiring bending, crouching, or stretching.
-
Targeted Protection: Ideal for jobs where the primary risk is to the front of the torso and legs.
-
Practicality: Easier to don and doff, and often more comfortable for extended wear in non-extreme environments.
-
Compliance: Meets rigorous standards for protection against liquid chemicals, including acids and alkalis.
Introducing Henglu Acid and Alkali Resistant Protective Workwear
Henglu specializes in manufacturing high-quality acid and alkali resistant protective clothing, including superior two-piece suits designed for durability, safety, and wearer comfort. Our workwear is engineered for professionals in chemical processing, laboratories, metallurgy, and battery manufacturing.
Core Fabric Technology:
The foundation of our acid resistant workwear is a high-performance fabric blend, primarily using acid-resistant fiber weaves like polyester or polyester-cotton blends. This base fabric undergoes a specialized chemical finishing process that dramatically enhances its resistance to acids and alkalis. The result is a fabric that is not only highly protective but also offers exceptional breathability, softness, and light weight.
Key Product Features:
-
Advanced Chemical Resistance: Treated with anti-acid/alkali technology, our clothing provides reliable protection against penetration, splashes, and corrosion from hazardous liquids.
-
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Safety: Integrated high-performance conductive fibers uniformly dissipate static electricity across the garment’s surface. This feature offers superior safety in sensitive environments compared to traditional anti-static products.
-
Durability & Comfort: Made with fully processed fabric, our suits guarantee comfort with excellent breathability. The material is highly abrasion-resistant, colorfast, shrink-proof, and pilling-resistant for long-lasting use.
-
Ergonomic Two-Piece Design: The coat and trousers are designed for optimal overlap and freedom of movement, making them a practical choice for dynamic work settings.
Performance and Compliance Standards:
Henglu’s protective clothing is manufactured to meet and exceed stringent technical benchmarks, ensuring your safety is never compromised.
-
Chemical Resistance Metrics: Our fabrics demonstrate a acid repellency rate of ≥90% and offer high acid penetration resistance times (typically >30 minutes against concentrated solutions like 80% sulfuric acid).
-
Physical Integrity: The material maintains excellent acid pressure resistance (≥15 kPa) and shows minimal strength degradation after exposure to corrosive substances.
-
International & National Compliance: Our products are tested and certified to comply with major safety standards, including the Chinese National Standard GB 24540-2009 for protective clothing against acids and alkalis, as well as the European standard EN 13034 for limited chemical splash protection. This dual-compliance ensures global applicability and trust.
Conclusion: Choosing the Right Protection
For environments where agility and targeted protection are paramount, a well-designed chemical protective coat and trouser ensemble is an indispensable safety solution. Henglu’s Acid and Alkali Resistant Workwear combines advanced fabric science, ergonomic design, and rigorous compliance to deliver unmatched protection, durability, and comfort.
