Garments

Durable protective garments for food safety and hygiene control

Vikan’s Garment range offers high-performance personal protective wear designed for hygiene-sensitive environments such as food processing, handling, and packaging facilities. Manufactured from pure, ether-based polyurethane, these reusable aprons, gowns, and sleeves provide exceptional protection against water, fats, and cleaning chemicals.

Their smooth, non-porous surfaces prevent bacterial growth and make them easy to clean, while their flexibility ensures comfort during long shifts. By combining FDA compliant materials with color-coded options compatible with Vikan hygiene systems, these garments help support HACCP principles of color-coding and reinforce visual hygiene control across production zones.
