Lab Coats

Purpose:  Lab coats are worn by professionals working in laboratories (such as scientists, researchers, doctors, and medical students) to protect their clothing and skin from hazardous substances.

Features

  • Material: Lab coats are typically made from cotton, polyester, or a blend of both. They may also be treated with fire-resistant or chemical-resistant finishes for added protection.

  • Colors: While white is the most traditional color for lab coats, they may also come in blue, green, or other neutral colors, especially in medical environments.
  • Functionality: Lab coats help maintains cleanliness in scientific settings by keeping personal clothing protected from spills, chemicals, or contamination. In some environments, they also prevent contamination of experiments or samples
