Suited for use in animal research facilities and for embalming/forensics, Kleenguard A60 apparel from Kimberly-Clark Professional provides blood-borne pathogen and chemical-splash protection. The apparel passes ASTM F1670 and F1671 testing for penetration of blood, body fluids and blood-borne pathogens. Its three-layer fabric construction features a middle layer of microporous film that allows heat and sweat vapor to escape, yet protects against dry particulates and liquids, even under pressure. The outer layers protect the film barrier against tearing and abrasion, and a seamless front provides more protection in primary exposure areas. With a Reflex coverall design, the apparel offers 12% more chest room and 6% longer body length—a design that is 7.5x less likely to rip out than ANSI minimum design. The apparel is available in a lab coat and four coverall styles.
