It is recommended for use in all settings where hygiene and protection of the operator and the environment are required, particularly in the medical, hospital, and laboratory sectors (clinics, wards, diagnostics, laboratory testing, and research), where disposable lab coats help limit cross-contamination and protect clothing from accidental contact with substances and fluids. It is also used in industrial settings (e.g., work involving a risk of dirt, particulates, or non-corrosive splashes) and in manufacturing environments with high hygiene requirements, including sectors where water-repellent and breathable disposable protective clothing is beneficial.
