Special-purpose clothing is used in facilities with particularly hazardous working conditions. To protect employees, it must possess a number of essential characteristics and properties. To impart these properties and characteristics to workwear, in addition to special materials, impregnations are used to impart specific properties.
Water-repellent impregnation
is required to ensure comfortable work conditions for employees in high-humidity areas or during heavy precipitation during outdoor work. Specific markings exist for this type of impregnation: VU - water-resistant, VO - water-repellent.
To provide protection against oil and petroleum, factories use oil-water-repellent and oil-oil-repellent treatments. Suits are marked as "NMVO" and "MVO" and are also classified as types of VO impregnation.
Fire-retardant impregnation:
The most common application of this impregnation is fire services and steelmaking. It is less common among workers at boiler houses, thermal power plants, etc.
This impregnation is marked as OP. Workwear materials are treated with a chemical solution. Thanks to the chemical treatment, your workwear is less likely to ignite.
Acid- and alkali-resistant impregnation:
At chemical manufacturing facilities, employees wear workwear with acid- and alkali-resistant impregnation. This impregnation is typically marked КСШ. The impregnation contains polyvinyl chloride.
This creates a protective barrier on the material, preventing chemicals from penetrating it, preventing chemical burns.
