KLEENGUARDŽ Protective Clothing and Anthrax.

Concerned by recent global events, many of our customers have asked us about the use of KLEENGUARDŽ Protective Clothing against the possible threat from anthrax

Anthrax is a spore forming bacterium.

We wish to make it clear that Kimberly-Clark has not tested its KLEENGUARDŽ Protective Clothing garments against anthrax.

The product which offers the highest level of chemical protection in our European range is KLEENGUARDŽ T35 Coveralls. This garment has been tested and certified against the relevant European standards for Type 3 (Limited use Chemical protective clothing with liquid tight connections, prEN 1511(1996)) and Type 5 equipment ( Limited use clothing offering protection to the full body against solid particulate chemicals, draft prENISO 13982-1 (2000)). This product is made from a barrier film laminated to a nonwoven fabric. The laminate has resistance to permeation (the process by which a chemical moves through a protective clothing material on a molecular level) to a wide range of liquid chemicals (as measured by test method EN 374-3). The garment is constructed using welded seams to provide enhanced protection.

If anthrax is suspected you should immediately contact your local public health authority, or law enforcement agency for advice.
