Where these two actually differ
- We flag Antimony in polyester and VOC off-gassing and residual sizing on the Aramark and not on the Uniform Advantage.
- We flag Azo dyes and colorant stability, Formaldehyde in fabric finishes and resins, VOC and chemical off-gassing from finishes and Spandex degradation and leaching under heat or UV on the Uniform Advantage and not on the Aramark.
- The Aramark is cotton/polyester blend, no noted treatment where the Uniform Advantage is polyester and spandex blend, stretch fabric, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
