What are the benefits of OREX products?
OREX clothing is most noted for its light weight and comfort. The garments are breathable and tend to reduce heat stress. A full OREX dressout (coverall, booties and hood) weighs 70% less than traditional cloth garments. Since OREX is much lighter in weight, the risk of injury associated with protective clothing handling is reduced. OREX usage is expected to provide numerous other benefits to the plant including reduced numbers of laundry shipments during outages and improved economics over current approaches. It is also interesting to note that most plants which have converted to OREX are reporting significant reductions in personnel contamination events. This is believed to be attributed to elimination of contamination events that have historically come from the residual contamination present in laundered protective clothing.
