Plant Maintenance Coveralls — SMS Hooded Coveralls PL-CA-101

PL-CA-101 is a 60 GSM SMS hooded coverall with attached boot covers that Poltex International supplies by the case to manufacturing plants, facility maintenance teams and shutdown contractors. It is available in XL, 2XL and 3XL, in cases of 10, 25 or 50 suits, from U.S. stock in Anderson, South Carolina. Plant maintenance coveralls PL-CA-101 keep dust and grime off workers during shutdowns and equipment cleaning.

Technical summary

Where plants use disposable hooded coveralls

• Shutdowns and turnarounds — contractors cleaning tanks, hoppers, dust collectors and conveyors.
• Routine equipment cleaning — grease, carbon, toner, cement and process dust that ruins uniforms.
• Clean-area visits — covering street clothes and shoes for auditors, engineers and vendors.
• Filter and bag changes — baghouse and HVAC filter replacement where dust falls on the worker.

Disposable suits cut laundry costs and keep contaminated uniforms out of break rooms and personal vehicles. For a broader look at plant applications, see disposable coveralls for industrial maintenance.

Safety note: not for hot work

SMS fabric is made from polypropylene, which melts and can burn. PL-CA-101 is not flame resistant. Do not wear it for welding, cutting, grinding sparks or near open flame, and do not wear it over flame-resistant (FR) clothing where an arc-flash or flash-fire hazard exists unless your safety team has approved that combination. Poltex does not publish a chemical or Type rating for PL-CA-101; for chemical tasks, review the chemical protective clothing guide and select PPE supported by test documentation for the specific chemical. OSHA’s general PPE rule, 29 CFR 1910.132, requires the employer to assess hazards and select PPE to match.

Planning suits for a shutdown

For a 10-day outage with 20 contract workers who change suits twice a shift, plan about 400 suits: eight 50-suit cases at $125 each, split across XL, 2XL and 3XL. Send your headcount by size and Poltex can prepare a single mixed-size order.
