™
Protective Coverall 4535 is designed to help protect against hazardous
dusts (Type 5) and certain light liquid splashes (Type 6).
The key features include:
• Constructed of quality laminated microporous material in the front body and
arms with a large breathable back panel for increased comfort and to help
reduce heat build up
• Good protection against dusts and certain light liquid splashes
• Knit cuffs and elastic waist and ankles for comfort and freedom of movement
• Two-way zipper with sealable storm flap
• Low linting
Materials
• Suit: Polypropylene & Polyethylene laminate (white)
• Back Panel: SMMMS Polypropylene (blue)
• Zipper: Metal/Nylon/Polyester Braid
• Cuffs: Polyester
• Thread: Polyester/Cotton
This product does not contain components made from natural rubber latex.
Approvals

Comfort and Protection
* In the whole suit test, liquid spray is applied to the subject for 1 minute. During this time the subject moves gently
and is rotated through 360°. A total of 1.88 liters is sprayed from four nozzles. The clothing is allowed to drain
for 2 minutes and then the absorbent coverall is inspected for stains which are compared to a calibration stain.
Requirement: Passes when the stained area inside is smaller than 3 times the calibration stain area.
** All apparel must be suitably grounded for anti-static treatment to be effective. Electrostatic propensity may decrease
with wearing time and/or severe conditions.
*** Except puncture resistance.
Applications and Performance
* Contact 3M for additional chemical penetration and penetration data. Note that breathable back panel has lower
chemical resistance than the laminated white material.

Data Sheet
Typical Applications
Typical applications may include: paint spraying, industrial clean-up and
maintenance, industrial and chemical processing, asbestos inspection, building
cleaning, insulation laying, pesticide handling/ agriculture (particulate aerosols
only), powder coating and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
In all cases, the authority having jurisdiction needs to conduct a risk
assessment. Always read product user information. Use limitations and
performance data should be considered to ascertain the protection required.
If in doubt, contact a safety professional.
Performance
The table below shows the performance of this product when tested under
laboratory conditions. Please note the tests may not reflect the reality of use and
do not account for factors such as excessive heat and mechanical wear.
* The standards EN 13034:2005, EN ISO 13982-1:2004, and EN 1073-2:2002 dene performance classes.
** The maximum Class is 6 unless otherwise noted.
*** EN ISO 6530 measures liquid penetration through a fabric and liquid repellency by a fabric. The test simulates
exposure to small amounts of chemicals (10 ml) for one minute duration only. The penetration index refers to the
percentage of the original quantity which penetrates the fabric within 1 minute (in detector beaker) as a percentage
of the original quantity.
