Problems solved by technology

When garments are constructed from such nonwovens, those parts of the nonwoven that are not utilized also have additional coatings or additives inside, which is costly and wasteful
Additionally, these techniques employed in the construction of garments may adversely affect barrier properties
For example, joining the sleeves to the body of the garment by stitching creates multiple holes that, if not adequately addressed, can reduce the barrier properties of the garment in the seam area

Abstract

The present invention is generally directed to a method of treating a folded garment to achieve good alcohol repellency on the innermost layers of the folded garment.

Description

Background technique [0001] Protective clothing provides a barrier that protects the wearer from possible contaminants. Many types of garments of this type are used in, for example, medical and industrial settings, to prevent the transfer of fluids and other contaminants through the garment to the wearer. Such garments are generally loose fitting, wherein portions of the garment, such as the wrists and ankles, are designed to fit the wearer snugly and comfortably. [0002] The protective garment may be configured as a gown or tunic having a main body portion to which sleeves are attached. Surgical gowns are an example of such protective clothing that are designed to limit the transfer of fluids such as sweat, blood, saliva, drugs, and saline through the gown to the wearer or patient. The protective garment can also be configured as a one-piece garment such as a coverall with an upper shirt portion and a lower trouser portion. Many of these garments are made from or contain ...
