Cleanroom Garments

Your first line of contamination control

People are the largest source of cleanroom contamination, which is why garments are not optional PPE — they are a validated barrier system between the operator and the critical environment. Cleanroom garments control the release of skin flakes, fibers, hair, and microbes, helping facilities maintain ISO classification and process yield. Gowning requirements also scale by room class, so selecting the right apparel system (coveralls, frocks, hoods, booties, sleeves, masks, and accessories) is part of meeting IEST and ISO cleanroom best practices.

SOSCleanroom has supported controlled environments since 1981, and we carry only best-in-class cleanroom garment brands designed for low particle shedding, low linting, comfort, and static control. Choose from disposable and reusable options, with sterile and non-sterile packaging, plus ESD-safe and aseptic-ready styles for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, semiconductor, aerospace, and laboratory cleanrooms.
