Protective Coverall 4540+ 3M™

The 3M 4540+ protective coverall is a disposable hooded coverall that protects the body and clothing against dust, particles and limited liquid splashes. It is worn for sanding, painting, industrial cleaning and dirty work.

Specifications

• Type: limited-use coverall, with hood.
• Protection: types 5 and 6 (dry particles, limited liquid splashes).
• Colour: white.
• Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL.

What types 5 and 6 mean

Chemical protective coveralls are classified by type, from 1 (gas-tight) to 6 (light splashes). Type 5 protects against airborne dry particles: sanding dust, fibres, powders. Type 6 protects against light splashes or a liquid mist. A type 5 and 6 coverall is not suitable for exposure to a liquid jet or immersion.

Choosing the right size

A coverall that is too tight tears at the seams when you bend down or raise your arms; one that is too large catches and gets in the way. Choose the size according to height and chest size, checking that you can crouch and raise your arms without strain.

Complete protection

The coverall protects the body, not the airways. When sanding or spraying, it is worn with a mask or a filtering half mask, gloves and safety glasses. Tape at the wrists and ankles closes the joins with gloves and shoes.

It is limited-use equipment: discard it when soiled, torn or at the end of the shift.
