They are for people working amid dust, paints, splashes and chemicals, or in environments where dirt must not be carried from one area to another. In this collection you will find hooded coveralls, chemical protective coveralls, gowns, shoe covers and overshoes from the Neri and Portwest brands.
Types in the collection
- Disposable hooded coveralls, in polypropylene, for dust and for cleaning or painting work.

- Shoe covers and overshoes, to avoid carrying dirt into clean areas.

How to choose
First identify the hazard: plain dust, splashes or chemicals. For chemical hazards, check the declared type of protection on the product data sheet (for example Type 4, 5 or 6) and make sure it is suitable for the substance. Then choose the right size, because a coverall that is too tight will tear, and consider the hood, cuffs and fastening. These garments are single-use: replace them if they get damaged.
For quantities and the right models for your work, ask the AMES team for a quotation.

Frequently asked questions: Disposable Coveralls, Gowns and Aprons
What are disposable polypropylene coveralls used for?
Disposable polypropylene coveralls protect those working among dust and in cleaning or painting jobs, keeping dirt off personal clothing. They are lightweight, with a hood and a closure, and are worn over work clothes. After use they must be disposed of as waste and not reused, because a disposable loses its function once dirty.
Which standards apply to chemical protection coveralls?
Chemical coveralls are assessed against EN 13034 for protection against light liquid splashes, type 6, and EN ISO 13982 for solid particles, type 5. Coveralls marked category III fall under Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on PPE. Always read the product sheet and compare it with the substances you will actually be exposed to.
What is the difference between a Tyvek suit and a polypropylene suit?
Tyvek is a brand of nonwoven fabric made from high-density polyethylene, while PP suits are disposable coveralls made from polypropylene. The two families do not have the same performance, so it is worth comparing the technical sheets for weight, type of protection and category. The choice depends on the expected exposure, not on the name of the material alone.
How do you put on and take off a disposable suit without contaminating yourself?
Put on overshoes or shoe covers first, then the suit with the hood closed and the cuffs tight. To remove it, pull it off from the inside, turning it over on itself, avoiding touching the outer side with bare hands, and dispose of it as waste. Wash your hands after each operation and do not reuse the suit, even if it still looks clean.
Where are disposable lab coats and aprons used?
Disposable lab coats and aprons protect clothing in cleaning and painting work, goods loading and unloading, and in agriculture, such as the green PVC apron measuring 115 x 75 cm. The Portwest PP inspector coat is worn over work clothes when it is necessary to avoid soiling them. Choose the material according to the liquid or dust you will be exposed to.
Which variables should be checked on a disposable suit?
The main variables are the protection category, the type of exposure (dust, splashes or chemicals), the size and the material grammage. In the range, suits carry codes such as ST11, ST30 or ST70 from Portwest, or numbers such as 4500 or 4532+ from other brands. Product sheets give sizes and material, so compare them before choosing.
Are disposable overshoes really necessary?
Yes. When working on dirty surfaces or moving from one area to another, overshoes prevent residue from being carried onto floors and equipment. They are available in polyethylene, Tyvek and PLP, with models from Portwest and Neri. Choose the model according to the floor, the humidity of the environment and the substance present, and change it when it gets dirty or torn.
