What extreme hazardous environments are InduBarrier Type 4B and 5B coveralls designed for?
Standard textiles fail when exposed to pressurized chemicals and microscopic biological threats. InduBarrier™ laminated fabrics are engineered by Kae Hwa Industrial specifically for high-risk industrial and biological zones. The Type 4B and Type 5B classifications represent distinct levels of critical protection, designed to shield workers from liquid sprays to hazardous dry particulates.
Target Environments by Protection Level
4BLiquid-Tight
Barrier
Protection Against Liquid Chemical Sprays
Engineered for extreme liquid penetration resistance. These materials meet EN 14605 Type 4B and ASTM F1671 viral penetration standards. They provide an absolute barrier against hazardous chemical splashes and blood-borne pathogens.
- Biohazard & Decontamination: Epidemic response, virus containment, and medical waste cleanup.
- Chemical Processing: Handling pressurized liquid chemicals and toxic solvent sprays.
- Heavy Industrial Cleaning: High-pressure washing in petrochemical facilities.
5BParticle & Dust
Barrier
Protection Against Airborne Solid Particulates
Certified to EN 13982-1 Type 5B, this breathable laminate prevents the penetration of hazardous dry particulates and biological aerosols, ensuring worker safety without compromising thermal comfort during long shifts.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Protecting products from human contamination and shielding workers from active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- Agricultural Spraying: Pesticide and herbicide handling in dry or low-splash environments.
- Construction & Abatement: Safe asbestos removal, fiberglass handling, and toxic dust environments.
