SHIGEMATSU WORKS Protective Clothing
Protective clothing is work clothing that protects the wearer from hazardous chemicals, heat, flames, contamination or the like. These items are made of soft materials for ease of movement while working. Rubber inserts in the waist, cuffs and heels are designed to prevent the entry of hazardous materials. The use of materials such as highly air-permeable polypropylene prevents stuffiness and discomfort. These features ensure comfort, letting the wearer focus on working. An extensive lineup of disposable protective clothing is also available for use with hazardous substances. These items are made of non-woven fabrics that are air-permeable while preventing blood or other liquids from penetrating in large quantities. There are also covers for specific body parts such as polyethylene arm covers, medical bouffant caps and shoe covers. Work clothing for various work types is also available. Examples include items for working with asbestos, insect-repellent items and items designed to withstand temperatures as low as -70°C.
