SAL663 - Yellow Neoprene Chemical & Flame Resistant Bib Apron, 48x35

Essential Protection for Chemical Handling in the Shop

While leather is the welder's go-to for sparks and slag, it is not designed to handle liquids. The SAL663 Neoprene Flame Resistant Apron fills the gap in your safety gear arsenal when dealing with the wet side of fabrication and maintenance. If your work involves stainless steel pickling pastes, heavy-duty degreasers, coolant handling, or battery maintenance, this apron is a must-have. Standard cotton or leather gear can absorb dangerous fluids, holding them against your skin; this neoprene apron creates an impermeable shield that repels liquids instantly.

This apron isn't just a plastic sheet; it is built from durable neoprene rubber which offers the unique advantage of being flame resistant. In a welding shop, where sparks can travel unexpectedly, wearing a standard plastic apron can be a fire hazard. This neoprene unit resists burning, making it safe to wear in the vicinity of hot work (though not designed for direct welding slag). The 48-inch length ensures that your lap and legs are covered when working at a bench or standing over a dip tank.

The apron is designed to withstand the rigors of a workshop environment. It features sturdy metal grommets and tough polyester ties that won't rot or snap easily. The bright yellow color makes it easy to identify as your dedicated chemical safety gear, keeping it separate from your welding leathers. Easy to wipe down and store, this apron protects your expensive work clothes and, more importantly, your skin from chemical burns and irritation.
