Can Type 5B and Type 6B materials be safely used for biohazard, pharmaceutical, and automotive coating applications?
Yes, they are highly recommended. Kae Hwa’s InduBarrier™ Type 5B and 6B breathable waterproof laminates are specifically engineered to provide reliable protection in these controlled environments. While Type 4B is for heavy liquid sprays, Type 5B and 6B excel at blocking dry particulates, biological aerosols, and light chemical splashes without sacrificing worker mobility and comfort.
Industry-Specific Material Applications
Biohazard & Decontamination
For dry biological contamination and epidemic response, our Type 5B (EN 13982-1) fabric acts as an impenetrable shield against hazardous biological aerosols and dry particulates. The microporous structure ensures viruses and bacteria cannot pass through the breathable film.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
In cleanrooms, protection works both ways. InduBarrier prevents human skin and hair from contaminating sensitive pharmaceutical products, while simultaneously protecting workers from exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and powder chemicals.
Automotive Coating & Painting
Automotive paint jobs require low-linting materials to prevent surface defects. Our Type 6B (EN 13034) laminate is lightweight, flexible, and offers limited-splash protection. It blocks paint sprays and solvents while allowing body heat to dissipate during intensive physical work.
