A Unique Anti-Exposure Protection Solution
Aerostar’s Fuel Handler Coverall provides protection against jet fuel for operators who work inside aircraft fuel tanks and tanks with anti-explosive foams. The Fuel Handler Coverall’s unique fabric provides electrostatic protection and significantly greater protection from jet fuels than treated cotton coveralls while offering breathability that minimizes the risk of heat stress during long duration activity.
Military Outerwear Fabric
Using breathable Gore-Tex® Military Outerwear Fabric, the Fuel Handler Coverall is the first garment to combine comfort with protection from liquid fuel splash. The Military Outerwear Fabric provides resistance against perspiration and contaminates, such as jet fuel, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, DEET, petroleum, oils, and lubricants. This resilient fabric is constructed from a nylon filament outer material, a breathable membrane, and an anti-static nylon knit backer, which delivers better durability and a longer life cycle.
