Protect Your Product: The SMMS Particle Barrier
In pharmaceutical, food processing, or clean manufacturing, the primary goal of gowning is not to protect the worker—it’s to protect the *product* from the worker. Human beings are the biggest source of contamination (skin flakes, hair, fibers). Your gowning solution must be low-linting and provide a superior particle barrier. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU is the ideal disposable gown for this application, thanks to its 4-layer SMMS construction.
Why 4-Layer SMMS is Superior for Manufacturing
This is not a basic PP gown. The ‘Meltblown’ layers within the 22gsm SMMS fabric are the key. They create a ‘tortuous path’ that is highly effective at filtering and containing particles.
- Superior Particle Barrier: More effective at containing skin flakes and fibers than 1-ply spunbond PP.
- Low-Linting: The spunbond outer layers provide strength and a smooth, low-linting surface.
- Disposable: Guarantees a fresh, clean, and controlled barrier for every shift, eliminating the variables of a reusable laundry program.
Designed for a Secure Fit
A loose gown is a contamination risk. This gown is designed to create a secure interface with other PPE.
- Integrated Thumb Loops: This is a critical feature. It anchors the sleeve under the glove, creating a gap-free seal. This prevents particle ‘shedding’ from the wrist and stops sleeves from riding up and touching the product.
- Overhead & Waist Tie Design: Simple, secure, and provides full torso coverage.
The Cost-Effective Solution for Product Protection
The IL-2022YTU is the smart, economical choice for your non-sterile production environment. It provides a level of particle containment and durability that basic PP gowns cannot match, helping you protect your batches and maintain a clean environment.
Ideal Applications:
- Food processing and handling
- Pharmaceutical compounding (non-sterile)
- Cleanroom support areas
- Nutraceutical manufacturing
- Cosmetics production
Manufacturing Gown Material Comparison
For product protection, the material’s filtration and linting properties are what matter most.
| Feature | Medtecs IL-2022YTU (SMMS) | Basic PP Gown | Reusable Polyester Gown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Particle Containment | Good (Meltblown layers) | Poor | Varies (Can be good) |
| Linting | Low | Low-to-Moderate | Low (but degrades) |
| Hygiene | Single-Use (Consistent) | Single-Use | Requires validated laundry program. |
| Sleeves | Thumb Loops (Secure Seal) | Loose Elastic (Gap risk) | Knit Cuffs (Particle trap) |
