Product Information

Full details

The 3M 4520 Protective Coverall is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against hazardous dusts and limited liquid splashes. Its key benefit lies in its extremely lightweight and breathable SMMMS material, ensuring comfort during extended wear. A potential caveat is that it provides protection against limited liquid splashes, not heavy-duty liquid immersion. This coverall offers a 3-panel hood, elasticated waist and ankles, knitted cuffs, and a 2-way zip with a storm flap for secure closure.

FAQs

What level of liquid protection does the 3M 4520 offer?

The 3M 4520 offers protection against limited liquid splashes and sprays, as per Type 6 (EN 13034) standards. It is not designed for immersion in liquids or protection against high-pressure liquid jets.

Is this coverall suitable for protection against fine chemical vapors?

This coverall is primarily designed for protection against dusts (Type 5) and limited liquid splashes. It is not intended for protection against chemical vapors or gases. For such hazards, specialized chemical-resistant suits are required.

Can I wear this coverall for extended periods?

Yes, the coverall is made from a lightweight and breathable SMMMS material designed for comfort during extended wear, helping to reduce heat stress.

What does 'anti-static' mean in this context?

The anti-static coating (EN 1149-5) helps to dissipate static electrical charges from the wearer's body, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable materials or atmospheres.

Can I wash and reuse the 3M 4520 coverall?

No, the 3M 4520 is a disposable protective garment and should not be washed or reused. It must be disposed of after use or if it becomes contaminated or damaged.

What is SMMMS material?

SMMMS stands for Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond. It's a multi-layered composite fabric offering a balance of strength, filtration (from the meltblown layers), and breathability. For this coverall, it's 43gsm.

Does this coverall protect against nuclear particles?

Yes, the 3M 4520 meets EN 1073-2 standards for protection against nuclear particulates.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. The elasticated waist and ankles should provide some flexibility, but a too-small size will limit movement.

Zipper is difficult to close

Check that there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Ensure the zipper is aligned correctly before pulling. If the zipper is damaged, the coverall should not be used.

Seals around hood, cuffs, or ankles are not snug

Adjust the elasticated sections if possible. For critical applications, ensure compatibility with other PPE that might improve the seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and breathable for enhanced comfort during long work periods.
  • Provides protection against hazardous dusts and limited liquid splashes.
  • Anti-static properties reduce the risk of ignition from sparks.
  • Good fit and ease of movement due to elasticated waist/ankles and hood design.
  • Meets multiple safety standards for dust and liquid protection.

Cons

  • Provides protection only against *limited* liquid splashes, not heavy liquid exposure.
  • Disposable nature means it's not suitable for repeated use.
  • May not be sufficient for protection against fine chemical mists or vapors.
  • Specific protection levels are defined by Type 5/6 standards; may not be suitable for all hazard types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the coverall carefully.
  2. Ensure the correct size is selected for a proper fit.
  3. Don the coverall, ensuring all seals (hood, cuffs, ankles) are snug.
  4. Fasten the 2-way zipper completely and secure the storm flap with its tab.

Compatibility:

  • The 3-panel hood is designed to work well with other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, goggles, or respirators.
  • Always check that the chosen PPE is compatible with the coverall and the specific hazard.

Care:

  • The 3M 4520 Protective Coverall is a disposable garment. It is not designed for cleaning or reuse.
  • Once contaminated or damaged, the coverall must be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
