Cleanroom suit

One common type is an all-in-one coverall worn by semiconductor and nanotechnology line production workers, technicians, and process / equipment engineers.

The suit covers the wearer to prevent skin and hair being shed into a clean room environment.

The suit incorporates both boots and hood, designed to be breathable and lightweight while protecting the wearer.

More advanced designs with face covers were introduced in the 1990s (like the Intel fab worker-style suits seen on the Pentium product advertisements).

Suits are usually deposited in a storage bin after being contaminated for dry cleaning, autoclaving and/or repair.
