The Kleenguard A60 microporous film laminate bloodborne pathogen and chemical splash protection coverall with hood is a disposable single-piece protective garment made with a breathable, microporous film laminate to help protect against pathogens in blood or other potentially infectious materials, and some chemicals in the form of dry particulates or liquid splash. The material passes ASTM International F1670/F1671 testing for penetration of blood and bodily fluids, and resists penetration of particles 0.3 microns and larger. This coverall features an attached hood with an elastic face opening to cover the wearer's head and neck. It has elastic cuffs for a tight fit at the wrists and ankles, elastic across the back to improve fit, and a front zipper to facilitate donning. The zipper is covered with a taped storm flap to reduce exposure. The seams are serged for reinforcement and fray resistance, and located on the back of the coverall for seamless protection in the primary areas of potential exposure. The garment material has three layers: the outer layers are made of cloth-like spunbond polypropylene to help protect the microporous film layer from tearing and abrasion. The coverall is tailored to provide 12 percent more chest room and 6 percent longer body length than the ANSI/ISEA (American National Standards Institute/International Safety Equipment Association) 101-1996 standard size dimensions. This disposable protective clothing is suitable for a variety of industrial environments.

Nonwoven materials are created in a directional process within a fabricator, and will exhibit different properties when stress is applied in different directions. Coveralls, also known as boilersuits, are single-piece protective garments with full length legs and sleeves. Coveralls come in a range of protection levels, from light-duty suits worn over street clothes to keep them clean while working, to heavy-duty hazmat suits that protect the wearer from toxic liquids, gases, and airborne particles. Less protective suits are made of breathable fabric, and can weigh less and feel less restrictive than heavy-duty suits. More protective suits are made of fabrics impervious to gases and water vapor, and include hoods, attached boot covers, taped seams, all features which can lead to discomfort or heat stress if worn for extended periods. Protective coveralls are commonly used in applications such as paint spraying, mold remediation, environmental cleanup, and fiberglass installation.
