Model details

Where PL-CA-100 fits on an abatement project

Abatement projects use a lot of suits that never see the inside of the regulated area: set-up, poly sheeting and critical barriers, air-monitoring visits, waste load-out to the dumpster and final cleaning after clearance. PL-CA-100 gives crews a low-cost hooded suit for these support tasks, with boot covers already attached so floors outside the work area stay clean.

Choosing a suit for work inside the regulated area

OSHA’s asbestos standard for construction, 29 CFR 1926.1101, requires protective clothing — coveralls, head coverings and foot coverings — for employees exposed above the permissible limits and for certain classes of work. Poltex does not publish a Type or particle-penetration rating for PL-CA-100. When your specification, project designer or competent person requires a certified particle-tight garment, use PL-CA-107-1, a Category III Type 5/6 coverall certified by Centrocot (Italy), and request its current certificate. Our asbestos abatement coverall selection guide walks through the decision.

Budgeting suits for an abatement job

Abatement crews usually change suits every time they exit through decontamination. A five-person crew making three exits a day uses about 15 suits daily — roughly 75 suits for a one-week job, or one 50-suit case plus one 25-suit case ($200). Order separate cases for each size, and keep a spare case on site for visitors and inspectors.
