DCHAS-L Archives, Feb 3, 2026 - Re: [DCHAS-L] [External] [DCHAS-L] Recommendations for Gen Chem Lab Coats

Dr. Rice,

I performed a variety of occupational safety & Health as well as radiation protection and health physics including laboratory tasks.

We typically use disposable protective clothing including fire retardant lab coats. These lab coats can be reused many times. The cost is comparable or less expensive than purchasing, laundering and replacing cloth garments. OREX is a company that sells garments that are very inexpensive to dispose of when when they reach their end of life span.

Just curious, but are you saying that your University rents lab coats for the undergraduate student labs? Or are you talking more about grad students and researchers? If so, where do you store them and how often do you have them laundered/exchanged for new?

Sincerely,

Hello,

We use a local rental company and rent the flame resistant , chemical protectant coats because they are very expensive and require special cleaning for the fabric.

WorkRite’s Nomex coats are what we have been using. I’m happy to share more about our protocol if you would like to reach out

Hello,

Does anyone have recommendations for lab coats for Gen Chem students? We use conc. acids and bases and use bunsen burners, so flame resistance is important.

Looking for a link I can send my students to to order.

Thanks so much for your help!

Warm regards,
