Acid- and Waterproof Apron, Kerbl

The Kerbl acid- and waterproof apron is a professional piece of protective clothing designed for use in the most demanding livestock and laboratory environments. The product is intended to protect the operator’s torso and legs from direct contact with water, organic substances, and aggressive chemicals, such as acids used in cleaning and disinfection processes.

Application

The apron is primarily used in agriculture, livestock farms, and food-processing facilities. It is indispensable during the cleaning of milking parlors, calving pens, and animal housing areas, as well as during veterinary and laboratory work where there is a risk of splashes from corrosive substances or animal bodily fluids.

Operating Principle

The apron is made from a high-quality, densely woven material that forms an impermeable barrier against liquids. A special outer coating provides chemical resistance to acids, preventing degradation of the material structure. The flexibility of the material is maintained across a wide temperature range, ensuring freedom of movement both in cold-storage facilities and in hot production environments.

In Practice

• High temperature resistance: An operating range of -25°C to +70°C ensures that the apron does not become brittle in freezing conditions or sticky at high temperatures, extending its service life in changing farm environments.
• Mechanical durability: The material is highly resistant to tears and cracks, which is essential when working with animals or around equipment with sharp edges.
• Complete waterproof protection: Provides comfort during intensive pressure washing by keeping the clothing underneath dry and clean.
• Chemical resistance: Effective protection against acids allows for the safe preparation and handling of cleaning and disinfecting solutions, for example in milking system maintenance.
