Martula Type 5-6 coverall

The Martula Type 5-6 coverall (C500W) is a disposable protective coverall built around a 65 gsm PE laminate microporous fabric. It sits in the Type 5 and Type 6 protection band, which on this listing maps to dry particulate protection under EN ISO 13982 and protection against a light spray of liquids under EN ISO 13034. That makes it a sensible single-use option for jobs where you want full body coverage but do not want to launder and track a reusable garment.

Beyond the headline Type 5-6 rating, the listing carries a useful spread of European standards. It cites EN ISO 14126 for protection against infectious agents, EN 1073 for protection against radioactive contamination, EN ISO 1149 for antistatic garment requirements, and EN ISO 13688 as the general protective clothing standard. That combination is what separates a genuine industrial coverall from a basic dust suit, so it is worth reading the standard codes carefully against your own task.

Match the Type rating to the hazard

The protection "Type" is the first thing to check on any disposable coverall. This one is Type 5 and Type 6, so the listing positions it for dry particulate protection and a light spray of liquids. That is the right band for dusty environments and incidental splash, but it is not the same as the higher Type 3 and Type 4 ratings that some chemical coveralls carry for jet and saturation exposure. If your task involves pressurised liquid chemicals, confirm the exact Type rating you need before relying on a Type 5-6 garment.

Get the size and seal right before you start

A disposable coverall only does its job if it actually closes off the gaps. Pick a size that lets you reach, squat and climb without straining the fabric, since a single-use suit can tear if it is pulled too tight. Before you begin, work down the front closure fully and make sure the cuffs, ankles and hood (where fitted) sit snug against your other PPE so dust and spray cannot track underneath. Sizing details and the exact closure design should be checked on the product page.

Treat it as single use

This is a disposable garment, so plan to remove and dispose of it once a job is done or once it is contaminated. Peel it off carefully so you turn any contamination inward rather than shaking particulates back into the air, and bag it according to your site waste procedure. Do not try to wash and reuse a disposable coverall: the laminate and the antistatic performance are not built to survive laundering.

These are genuine like-for-like alternatives: every product below is a disposable coverall positioned for the same kind of particle and light spray work, so the comparison is about fabric, breathability, visibility and listed standards rather than a jump between product categories. Where a Type rating is not stated on a listing, the table says so.

The Martula is notable for the breadth of standards listed on it, including antistatic to EN ISO 1149 and the infectious agent and radioactive contamination listings, which makes it a strong pick when those specific requirements are written into a job. The two Force360 suits lean into high visibility and worker movement, with the Defender's lighter 55 gsm SMS being the better call for hot, humid conditions and the Repel HV adding comfort features like the bat wing cut and thumb loops.

The Microgard 2000 is worth a look if your work is about fine particulate control and liquid resistance, since its silicone free, low linting fabric is described for applications like spray painting. If antistatic and the wider standards listing are your priority, the Martula is the cleaner match.

What is confirmed on the listing is solid for a disposable coverall. You get a 65 gsm PE laminate microporous fabric, a Type 5 and Type 6 protection band, and a notably broad set of standard codes covering dry particulates, light liquid spray, infectious agents, radioactive contamination, antistatic performance and general protective clothing requirements. For a single-use suit, that is a more complete standards picture than many comparable coveralls publish.

What the listing does not spell out is the practical fit and construction detail: the closure design, cuff and ankle finish, hood, seam type and the available size range are not stated in the facts we have. Those matter for comfort and for whether the garment actually seals against your other PPE, so confirm them on the product page or datasheet before ordering in volume.

Overall this reads as a dependable Type 5-6 disposable coverall with a strong standards listing, particularly where antistatic protection is part of the requirement. Treat the standards as the deciding factor and verify the sizing and physical features on the listing.
