Bouffant caps should be used in full containment situations where it is necessary to prevent minute particles from reaching products or equipment. We recommend these for direct food contact or when more protection than a hairnet is needed. All of our polypropylene bouffant caps are made with latex-free elastic. Please contact a customer service specialist if you need assistance in finding the right style and/or size for your situation. Because of our innovative, automated manufacturing system, there is no human contact with our pleated style bouffants during the manufacturing process.
