Cleanroom Beard Covers

Facial-hair containment for compliant gowning and particle control.

Beard covers are a simple but essential part of cleanroom gowning because facial hair sheds particles and microbes just like head hair. In controlled environments—especially ISO Class 5–8 and GMP suites—beard covers help prevent stray hairs and skin flakes from entering the critical zone, supporting cleaner air counts and more defensible contamination control. They’re commonly required for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, semiconductor, and laboratory cleanrooms, and are often paired with hoods, masks, and coveralls as part of a complete gowning SOP.

SOSCleanroom has supported cleanroom apparel programs since 1981, and we stock beard covers engineered for secure fit, low-lint materials, and comfortable all-shift wear, with sterile options available for aseptic areas. Browse below to select the right cleanroom beard cover for your ISO class and gowning standards.
