OREX looks a lot like a white paper suit. How does it compare?
OREX is more “breathable” than conventional paper suits, so it tends to be much more comfortable to wear. However, standard OREX clothing was designed as a substitute for traditional cotton and poly/cotton blend fabric protective clothing. Like cloth fabrics, OREX is not intended to provide an absolute barrier to contaminants. In cases where a superior barrier is needed, such as very high contamination areas or wet work, the specially treated splash resistant OREX “Deluxe” coverall may be used as a substitute for paper or water repellent coveralls. While the splash resistant OREX coveralls offer superior barrier properties similar to other paper or splash resistant products, it still breathes significantly better than those products. Plant specifics and experience will determine the best applications for OREX.
