Buy Long Sleeve Waterproof Feeding Bib
Long Sleeve Waterproof Feeding Bib
This feeding bib is engineered for environments requiring reliable liquid containment and extended coverage during feeding processes. Its design prioritizes barrier integrity, wear resistance, and ease of maintenance in high-frequency use settings such as pediatric care facilities, assisted living centers, and food preparation zones.
Material Composition and Barrier Performance
The bib features a three-layer laminate construction: an outer layer of 180gsm polyester fabric treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, a middle layer of 0.02mm thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film for liquid impermeability, and an inner layer of 120gsm brushed polyester for skin contact comfort. The TPU layer provides a hydrostatic head resistance of ≥5,000mm, ensuring no penetration under typical feeding-related fluid exposure. Seams are ultrasonically welded to eliminate needle holes, maintaining continuous barrier integrity along all edges and joints.
Design Specifications and Coverage Geometry
The long sleeve design extends coverage to the wrists, with sleeve lengths of 35cm (±2cm) from shoulder seam to cuff, accommodating arm circumferences from 18cm to 28cm via elasticated cuffs with 40% stretch recovery. The torso panel measures 40cm in width at the chest and 45cm in length from neckline to hem, providing overlap protection for the lap and upper legs. The neckline features a 3cm overlap with adjustable hook-and-loop closure, allowing circumferential adjustment from 25cm to 35cm to fit neck sizes while minimizing gap-related leakage.
Functional Features for Operational Efficiency
- Quick-release side snaps (5mm diameter, acetal polymer) enable one-handed removal without pulling over the head, reducing contamination risk during doffing.
- Cuffs incorporate 2cm-wide elastic bands with 100% polyester core and nylon wrap, maintaining elasticity after 50+ wash cycles at 60°C.
- The inner layer uses antimicrobial-treated polyester (zinc pyrithione-based, 0.5% add-on) to inhibit bacterial growth on the skin-contact surface.
- All components are latex-free and phthalate-free, complying with REACH Annex XVII and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class II requirements.
Maintenance and Reusability Parameters
The bib is designed for repeated use in institutional laundering systems. It withstands industrial wash cycles at temperatures up to 75°C with pH-neutral detergents, tumble drying at ≤60°C, and ironing at ≤110°C (no steam). Accelerated aging tests show <5% loss in hydrostatic head resistance after 100 wash cycles. Stain resistance is validated against common feeding substances (formula, pureed vegetables, fruit juices) using ISO 105-E04:2013, with ΔE < 3.0 after 24-hour exposure and standard wash.
Size Range and Customization Logic
| Parameter | Standard Range | Customizable Options |
|---|---|---|
| Torso Length | 45cm (±1.5cm) | ±5cm increments |
| Chest Width | 40cm (±1cm) | ±3cm increments |
| Sleeve Length | 35cm (±1cm) | ±3cm increments |
| Closure Type | Hook-and-loop (neck), snap (sides) | Magnetic, zipper, or tie alternatives |
| Color | White, light blue, beige | Pantone-matched custom dyes |
Quality Assurance and Traceability
Each production lot undergoes inline inspection for seam integrity (ultrasonic weld strength ≥1.8N/mm), dimensional tolerance (±2% on critical dimensions), and surface defect frequency (<0.5 defects/m²). Final random sampling includes hydrostatic head testing (ISO 811:2018) and colorfastness to washing (ISO 105-C06:2010). Lot-specific QR codes are applied to care labels, linking to material certificates, test reports, and manufacturing date. Traceability extends to raw material batch numbers for TPU film and textile components.
