Some jobs end with the suit going in the bin. Disposable coveralls protect clothing and skin from paint, dust, fibres, splashes and contamination, and keep clean areas clean. PPESuppliers.co.za is a free quote-request service for South Africa. Tell us the task and the quantity, and we pass your request to independent PPE suppliers, wholesalers and medical or cleaning suppliers, who quote you directly. We do not sell coveralls ourselves. It is free and you have no obligation to accept a quote.
Types and protection levels
Not all disposable suits protect against the same hazards. Chemical protective clothing is grouped by type, with Types 5 and 6 the most common for disposable use.
- Type 5: protects against airborne dry particles, such as asbestos fibres and fine dust.
- Type 6: limited protection against light liquid splashes, such as spray painting and cleaning.
- Basic non-woven suits: for light dust and dirt, with no chemical rating.
- Antistatic and cleanroom suits: for electronics and controlled areas.
Choosing fabric and design
Fabric decides comfort and protection. Polypropylene is light and breathable but offers limited splash resistance. Laminated and microporous films resist liquids and fine particles better, but trap more heat. Sealed seams give better protection than stitched seams.
Check the design as well. A hood, elasticated wrists and ankles, and a zip with a storm flap close gaps where dust gets in. Longer legs and a gusseted crotch improve movement when bending and kneeling. Boot covers, gloves and masks usually go with the suit, so decide the whole set at once. Ask for the standard marking on the suit, and confirm that it suits the substance you are handling, such as asbestos fibres or isocyanate paint spray.
Putting on, taking off and disposal
A coverall protects only if worn correctly. Put it on over clothes, zip it fully, seal the wrist and ankle cuffs over gloves and boots, and pull the hood up under or over a respirator as the task requires. Take it off slowly by rolling it inside out, so contamination stays on the inside.
Single-use means single-use. Bag used suits and dispose of them according to the hazard. Asbestos waste, for example, follows strict rules under the asbestos regulations. Do not wash or reuse suits. Supply the right sizes: a tight suit tears, and a very large suit snags on equipment. Train staff in fitting and removal, and keep spare suits at the point of use.
What affects the quote
We do not give prices. Suppliers price on suit type, fabric, seam type, size range, pack quantity and any certification. Tell them what the suit protects against, how many you use each week, and whether the job is once-off or ongoing. Say if you need an antistatic or hooded design, or sizes beyond the standard run. Include your delivery address and the date you need stock. For a long contract, ask whether the supplier can hold stock and deliver in regular drops against a monthly forecast.
Comparing disposable coveralls quotes
PPE prices move with fabric, leather and rubber costs, the exchange rate and stock levels. When quotes arrive, check:
- Exact item and standard: the product, the standard or rating it is certified to, and an NRCS letter of authority where one is required.
- Sizes and quantities: price per unit or per pack, size runs available and any minimum order.
- Stock or lead time: ex stock, or imported or made to order, and how long that takes.
- Delivery and VAT: delivery to site, branding costs, whether VAT is included and how long the price holds.
What to include in your request
- Describe the substance or task, such as paint or asbestos.
- Say which type or protection level you need.
- Give the quantity per week or month.
- List sizes, including extra-large ones.
- Add the delivery address and the date needed.
