KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, a leading supplier of Personal Protective Equipment products, has launched a new general purpose coverall designed to provide greater freedom of movement and a better fit.
“The new KLEENGUARD* A25 Particle & Liquid Protection Coverall uses a grey stretchable film laminate, specially placed to give extra freedom of movement, a feature which is patent pending,” explains Richard Pape, KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* European Category Manager for Coveralls. “In addition, its breathable SMS fabric reduces the risk of heat stress for the wearer.”
KLEENGUARD* A25 Particle & Liquid Protection Coverall is designed for users who need liquid and particle protection (under the Type 5 and Type 6 norms for PPE). “It’s a general purpose coverall suitable for handling liquids, powders, general manufacturing and maintenance,” explains Richard Pape.
“It’s the perfect example of how KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* takes into account users’ real-life needs,” he says. “By making movement easier we’ve made the user feel more comfortable and safer.”
Users agree. In an independent survey carried out in November 2008 as part of the new coverall’s development, 90 percent of users said they preferred it to a major competitor for ease of movement.
KLEENGUARD* A25 Particle & Liquid Protection Coverall is being launched in March. “It’s a big step forward for the design of coveralls,” says Richard Pape. “Once again KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* has put real innovation into PPE to come up with a solution which offers a big improvement and will drive compliance with the Health & Safety Regulations.”
KLEENGUARD* A25 Particle & Liquid Protection Coverall, product codes 89940/50/60/70/80/90, can be purchased from KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* distributors.
