Disposable Plastic Arm Sleeves – 18" Polyethylene, 1000/Case
ComfortSafe disposable plastic sleeve covers add lightweight coverage over the forearms and work-shirt sleeves during facility-approved hygiene tasks. These 18-inch polyethylene sleeves have elastic cuffs at both ends to help hold them in position. Choose blue or white to match your workplace’s clothing or department-identification procedures.
Each case contains 1,000 individual sleeves, equivalent to 500 two-sleeve sets. The single-use design supports routine changes between tasks or designated work areas without laundering. Use these plastic arm sleeves where your facility permits general-purpose clothing coverage, and select tested protective sleeves when a specific hazard requires them.

Buying Guide: Plastic, Terry, Kevlar and PVC Sleeves
Choose a sleeve by its documented performance and the task. These polyethylene covers serve as disposable clothing covers. Terry sleeves may be designed for heat exposure, and Kevlar sleeves may carry cut ratings, but neither material name alone establishes a protection level.
Some PVC sleeves are designed for repeated use or specified chemical exposures. Verify the exact model’s test data, chemical concentration, contact duration and reuse instructions. Do not assume a thicker or reusable sleeve protects against every cleaning agent.
Hygiene Requirements and Safety Selection
FDA 21 CFR 117.10(b)(1) addresses suitable outer garments in covered food operations. This hygiene requirement does not establish FDA approval, direct food-contact compliance or an “FFDCA certification” for these sleeves.
OSHA 1910.132(d) requires hazard assessment and appropriate PPE selection. No verified chemical-permeation, biological-barrier, cut or heat rating is established for PESLC. Cleanroom and lint-performance claims also require supporting documentation.
Fit, Use and Replacement
Check forearm coverage and cuff comfort through normal reaching and bending. When gloves are required, follow the selected equipment’s instructions for overlap; elastic cuffs do not create a liquid-tight seal. Inspect for tears before use, keep unused sleeves clean and dry, and replace soiled or damaged covers according to site procedures.
