Workwear impregnation by the manufacturer: main types and their protective properties

Hazardous working conditions require companies to provide their employees with protective workwear with the appropriate characteristics. Standard high-density fabric cannot protect workers from the harsh effects of harmful factors. Therefore, workwear manufacturers use various chemical solutions that, when combined with textiles, provide additional protective properties. The most popular workwear is one with three types of treatment.

Water-repellent impregnation

Necessary for work in rooms with high humidity or outdoors. It is marked VO (water-repellent) or VU (water-resistant). Moisture, when it comes into contact with the surface work suit with water-repellent impregnation, the material is not absorbed into the threads, but rolls off in drops.

To provide similar protection against oil and petroleum, workwear manufacturers use oil-water-repellent and oil-oil-repellent treatments. These suits are labeled as "NMVO" and "MVO"and are also classified as types of VO impregnation. Such workwear is often purchased for service station employees.

Fireproof impregnation

It is primarily required by fire departments and steel mills. Workwear with this coating is also purchased by companies with heat treatment plants, boiler houses, thermal power plants, and similar services.

Work suits with fire-retardant impregnation are marked OP. Manufacturers of such workwear The material is treated with a special chemical solution containing iodine, alkali metal salts, or fluorine. This OP impregnation minimizes the risk of fabric ignition from sparks or open flames.

Acid- and alkali-resistant impregnation

This type of protective clothing is essential for workers at chemical plants. It is labeled "KSSh" and is made from polyvinyl chloride. This treatment creates a protective barrier on the textile surface when in contact with it, preventing acidic and alkaline solutions from penetrating the suit. This helps protect workers from chemical burns.
