Buy Disposable Asbestos Abatement Coveralls by the Case

Compare Poltex asbestos abatement coveralls for contractor purchasing, then choose the exact model, size and case pack. The three SMS models below are listed in XL, 2XL and 3XL, with 10 suits for $40, 25 for $75 or 50 for $125 per case, before shipping and tax.

For asbestos suits, the buying decision starts with the garment specification required by your employer’s exposure assessment. This page compares the available product information and helps you plan bulk quantities. Each product page handles model-specific selection and checkout.

Compare Asbestos Removal Suits and Case Packs

Prices and sizes overlap, but the published specifications do not establish identical protective performance. PL-CA-107-1 is the listing that identifies Type 5/6; PL-CA-100 has a published 60 GSM specification, while the PL-CA-115-1-1 listing does not publish a fabric weight.

All three listings describe an attached hood and boot covers, elastic wrists and ankles, and a front zipper. Product photos show white garments; confirm the colour on your order. Shared design features and case prices are not proof that models are interchangeable.

Documentation for PL-CA-107-1: Poltex’s product listing names Category III, Type 5/6 and Centrocot, Italy. This comparison reports that listing; it does not independently verify a certificate. Request the certificate, declaration of conformity and garment instructions matching the exact supplied model before approval. No certificate number or additional test result is asserted here.

Type 5 vs Type 6: What the Terms Mean

EN ISO 13982-1 / Type 5 addresses whole-body protective clothing against airborne solid particles. EN 13034 / Type 6 addresses limited protection against light liquid spray and low-pressure, low-volume splashes. The ratings describe different exposures; Type 6 is not a substitute for Type 5 particle protection.

For disposable asbestos coveralls, compare the complete garment’s documented performance, seams, closures, hood, footwear interface and fit. GSM describes fabric mass per area. It does not by itself establish a Type 5 rating, an asbestos protection factor or chemical resistance.

OSHA, Decontamination and Disposal

The U.S. construction asbestos standard, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101, addresses protective clothing in paragraph (i), respiratory protection in (h), and hygiene/decontamination in (j). PPE selection belongs within the employer’s exposure assessment and asbestos work plan.

Plan controlled garment changes and enough replacement suits for the crew. Contaminated clothing must be contained and labelled as required; disposal follows the site’s asbestos waste procedure and local requirements. Workers need training, respiratory protection and suitable facilities in addition to clothing. Further background is available from NIOSH’s asbestos resources and HSE’s asbestos PPE guidance (UK guidance).

Plan Bulk Asbestos Protective Clothing Orders

Calculate suits by worker, required garment changes and size, then round up to the available case packs. For example, two cases of 50 XL suits plus one case of 25 2XL suits contain 125 suits. At current listed prices, the merchandise subtotal is $325; shipping and applicable tax are additional.

Order each size on a separate cart line. Keep the approved model reference on your purchase order and reorder list so a shared size or price does not lead to an unintended substitution. Send your required documents, delivery ZIP code, project date and reorder frequency with a bulk quotation request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What coveralls are required for asbestos removal?

Asbestos removal requires protective clothing chosen for the exposure and work class. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101(i) specifies whole-body clothing, head coverings, gloves and foot coverings in defined situations. A product name does not establish suitability: the employer or competent person must match the exact garment, fit and documentation to the job.

Can disposable asbestos coveralls be reused?

Treat a contaminated disposable coverall as single-use asbestos waste. Do not wash it for another shift or take it home. Plan replacement suits for controlled exits and garment changes under the site’s procedures. HSE guidance calls for used disposable overalls to be disposed of as asbestos waste; follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

How do you dispose of asbestos-contaminated coveralls?

Contain contaminated coveralls in sealed, impermeable, properly labelled bags or closed impermeable containers under the site’s asbestos waste procedure. OSHA addresses containment and labelling in 1926.1101(i)(3) and (k)(8). Use the disposal route required by local rules and the waste contractor; contaminated suits do not belong in ordinary clothing recycling.

What is the difference between Type 5 and Type 6 coveralls?

Type 5, under EN ISO 13982-1, concerns whole-body protection against airborne solid particles. Type 6, under EN 13034, concerns limited protection against light liquid spray or low-volume splashes. They address different exposures. Neither rating alone proves suitability for every asbestos task, and a material name such as SMS is not a garment certification.

Which Poltex model lists Type 5/6 protection?

The current Poltex product listing identifies PL-CA-107-1 as Category III, Type 5/6, 60 GSM SMS and names Centrocot, Italy. Request the certificate and declaration matching the exact model and supplied garment. The comparison on this page does not assign that rating to PL-CA-100 or PL-CA-115-1-1.

How many suits are in each case, and what is the price?

The three listed models currently offer 10 suits for $40, 25 for $75, or 50 for $125, before shipping and tax. That equals $4, $3 or $2.50 per suit respectively. Select XL, 2XL or 3XL and order each size separately; the cart quantity counts cases.

Do asbestos suits replace respirators or decontamination facilities?

No. Asbestos suits cover the body; they do not filter the air a worker breathes. Respiratory protection and decontamination arrangements are separate parts of the employer’s asbestos control program. OSHA 1926.1101(h) and (j) address those requirements, with arrangements depending on the work and exposure. Follow the trained site’s procedures.

How can I order bulk asbestos protective clothing for a crew?

Send Poltex the model reference, size breakdown, suits per case, number of cases, delivery ZIP code and required date. Include any Type 5/6 documentation requirement before placing the order. For repeat supply, add the expected reorder frequency so the quotation covers the same approved model and size mix.
