Sleeve covers and aprons: clothing and body protection at work
Sleeve covers and aprons protect workers' clothing and skin from dirt, liquids, chemicals, and food residue. They are a daily necessity in food processing plants, meat workshops, fisheries, cleaning services, and the medical sector. Disposable aprons and sleeve covers are the fastest and most hygienic option.
Types of aprons
The right choice depends on the nature of work and level of protection required.
- PE (polyethylene) aprons. lightweight, water-resistant, and the most affordable option. Used in food production, cleaning, and catering
- PP (polypropylene) aprons. breathable and more comfortable for extended wear
- Heavy-duty PVC aprons. reusable, designed for intensive work with water, grease, or chemicals. Popular in meat and fish processing
- Aprons with pockets. textile or hybrid, used in the service sector
Sleeve covers: protecting cuffs and forearms
Disposable sleeve covers protect arms from wrist to elbow (or shoulder). They prevent liquids, splashes, and contaminants from reaching clothing sleeves. Especially useful in:
- Food production and packaging lines
- Veterinary and medical procedures
- Cleaning work with chemical cleaning agents
- Painting and finishing tasks
Materials and colours
Blue and white are standard colours in the food industry, where it matters that a stray piece is visually detectable. PE sleeve covers suit light protection needs, while thicker PP or CPE (chlorinated polyethylene) versions handle heavier liquid exposure.
