MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY

Protection at every layer.

Build protection through layers and construction

Effective barrier performance depends on more than the material itself. BioRAYGARD evaluates substrate, film structure, seam design, closures and garment construction together to achieve reliable protection for specific applications.

Material layers work together

A protective garment depends on the interaction between substrate, barrier layer and garment construction. PLA/PBAT systems combine a biodegradable nonwoven structure with a functional microporous barrier layer.

Material layer explorer

A garment is a system, not a single polymer.

Open each layer to review its role and evidence status.

01 Support layer
Function
Provides surface durability, mechanical strength and garment handling performance.
Source attribute
Fibre structure, basis weight and surface treatment.
Evidence status
Material-level data available. Garment-level validation required.
Finished-product impact
Influences garment strength, wearer comfort and overall handling during use.
02 Barrier layer
Function
Provides the primary protective barrier against liquids, hazardous substances, particles and other workplace exposure risks.
Source attribute
Polymer composition, film structure, coating technology, thickness and barrier performance characteristics.
Evidence status
Supported by material data and certified garment-level testing.
Finished-product impact
Defines the garment’s resistance to liquid penetration, chemical permeation and particle exposure, supporting different protection levels from Type 3 to Type 6 applications.
03 Assembly
Function
Integrates materials, seams and garment design to achieve the required protection performance.
Source attribute
Garment construction, seam technology, closure design and manufacturing process.
Evidence status
Verified through finished-garment testing and applicable certification requirements.
Finished-product impact
Determines overall protection performance, fit, durability and usability.
