My research students have been using the Workrite FR/CP coats for more than a year and love them. These coats are a bit softer than the simple Nomex coats and students like the sleeve cuff which keeps the sleeves from knocking things over. I like the CP functionality which prevents polar chemicals like aqueous acids/bases/toxins/corrosives from penetrating the coat. Cotton, Nomex and Polyester lab coats not only pass polar chemicals, but actually act as a wick.
Some people may baulk at the cost of the FR/CP lab coats. However, the coats are just as durable so easily last several years.. (A PhD!) The coating does not wash off, so those are years of real protection. Finally, the coat really does provide this at a fraction of the cost of nitrile gloves over the same period.

Agreed - Workrite (FR/CP) are the nicest ones I have used.

I agree with Monique...The Workrite coats are much lighter weight, have gathered cuffs and also come in a chemical protective model.
Best,

In my last position we had lab coats that were flame resistant (light-weight nomex) and also provided chemical splash protection via a coating that repelled liquids. The material also was anti-static. The coats were very comfortable and I felt gave me the best protection over any lab coat I had ever used before. They are made by Workrite Uniform Company, link attached here:

Hi all,
C&EN is looking at giving away some lab coats as part of a promotional event, and I've been asked to provide options. For those of you that distribute lab coats to researchers that use chemicals (whether in a chemistry research lab or elsewhere!), I'd love to know the brand and style that you use. You can share on the list or email me directly at j_kemsley**At_Symbol_Here**acs.org.
Thank you!
