Food safety first: Compliance and contamination control

We know that products that enhance compliance and reduce the risk of foreign material contamination are non-negotiable. The Iron Eagle line incorporates several features specifically suited for hygiene-sensitive environments:

  • Exceptional chemical resistance: Designed to be chemical resistant, specifically providing protection against fats, oils, grease, and organic acids. It is also built to resist salts and alkalies, which are common in food processing and sanitation environments.
  • 100% waterproof protection: The items utilize Therm-O-Rad or heat-sealed seams, guaranteeing 100% waterproof protection.
  • Contaminant barrier: The design features a storm fly front that seals out wind, rain, and other contaminants.
  • Color-coding capability: Iron Eagle clothing is available in multiple colors, such as green, yellow, blue, and gold. This variety allows the apparel to be integrated into a facility's color-coding program, which is a powerful tool in preventing cross-contamination of allergens and food-borne illnesses.

Heavy protection, lightweight comfort

While built for durability, the Iron Eagle line prioritizes the movement and comfort necessary for long shifts. The design enables flexibility and unrestricted movement, making it ideal for workers who need to kneel, bend, and crouch.

  • Lightweight and flexible: The exterior coated polyurethane on nylon jacket is lightweight, extremely comfortable, and flexible.
  • Engineered for mobility: Jackets are designed with a batwing sleeve that is generously cut to provide maximum freedom of movement.
  • Durable construction: The apparel utilizes a polyurethane coating on nylon material for a durable product. The heavy-duty snaps are guaranteed not to fail.

Engineered for sanitation and longevity

In food processing environments, PPE must be tough enough to withstand facility conditions and rigorous cleaning protocols while being easy to sanitize.

  • Superior durability: The 2-mil exterior coating provides unbelievable snag and abrasion resistance.
  • Easy decontamination: The sleek coating is easy to decontaminate, excellent for shedding liquids, and is mildew-resistant.
  • Withstands extensive laundering: The sealed seams are designed to be stronger than the material itself, ensuring they can withstand extensive laundering and support facility sanitation efforts.
