Laboratory Workwear

Lab coats and dust coats serve different purposes depending on the environment. Lab coats are typically used in laboratories, medical settings, and research facilities to provide protection against spills, splashes, and minor chemical exposure. They are often made of flame-resistant and fluid-repellent materials to enhance safety.

Dust coats, however, are lightweight overcoats commonly worn in workshops, warehouses, and industrial settings. Their primary function is to protect clothing from dust, dirt, and minor debris rather than chemical hazards. They are ideal for mechanics, engineers, and technicians who need to keep their workwear clean while on the job.

We can personalise all lab coats and dust coats to be unique to you and your business. We can provide top-quality print and embroidery to showcase your company logo, employee names, slogans and images. Customisation helps promote a professional image and ensures easy identification in the workplace.

Our lab coats and dust coats are crafted from high-quality, durable fabrics designed to provide comfort, breathability, and protection. The most common materials include:

• Polycotton blends (polyester-cotton mix): This offers durability, easy maintenance, and resistance to shrinking. It is ideal for general work environments.
• 100% Cotton: Soft, breathable, and naturally resistant to heat, making it a great choice for those who prefer a more comfortable fabric.
• Flame-retardant materials: Some specialised lab coats are treated with flame-resistant coatings to enhance safety in high-risk environments. We have a wide range of flame resistant items, please contact our team for more information.

The fabric type is specified on each product page, so you can choose the best option based on your workplace requirements.

While our standard lab coats provide basic protection against minor spills and splashes, they are not designed for full chemical resistance. If you work in an environment where exposure to hazardous chemicals is a concern, we recommend choosing a specialized chemical-resistant lab coat that meets the necessary safety standards.

For high-risk workplaces, look for coats made from fluid-resistant or chemical-resistant materials such as treated polyester blends or specific barrier fabrics. If you're unsure which coat is best for your needs, our team can help you find the right level of protection.
