Garment Design

It is very important that garments be sized correctly. Improperly sized garments can raise the level of contaminants and cause safety concerns.

Cleanroom garments must have these basic characteristics:

• A minimum of seams. The seams must firmly envelop the edge of the material.
• Be loose fitting to eliminate abrasion
• Absence of pockets, belts, and pleated or tucked areas.
• Tight fabric weave to minimize the passage of dust.
• Fabric must reduce static electricity generation and still remain nonlinting.
• Garments should cover as much of the person as possible, especially around the neck area.
