What Landau Men's Lab Coat - 65% Poly/35% Twill is made of, ingredients and materials
This lab coat is a 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill weave. Polyester brings durability and wrinkle resistance without requiring heavy chemical finishing; cotton adds breathability and moisture absorption. The blend avoids the need for water-repellent coatings (a common PFAS source) or permanent-press resins that would release formaldehyde. Twill weave is a mechanical structure, not a chemical treatment.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Azo dyes
Product color is not specified in available context. If dyed, standard textile azo dyes are common in apparel production. No specific azo-dye incidents are documented for this brand or model, but baseline risk in the category exists for any synthetic blend.
Fragrance allergens or finishes
Product information does not indicate fragrance or antimicrobial finish. If present, these would be disclosed on the label or care tag. No reported contact dermatitis cases linked to this specific model are on record.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Polyester-cotton twill can achieve wrinkle and shrink resistance through mechanical weave alone. No finish chemistry is disclosed for this product, and no formaldehyde-release recalls are on record for Landau lab coats.
Source, ATSDR ↗Antimony (polyester catalyst residue)
Antimony is a trace catalyst in polyester production. Residual antimony on finished garments is typically below concern thresholds in modern manufacturing. No recalls or testing data suggest elevated antimony in Landau apparel.
Flame retardants
This product is not marketed as flame-resistant; standard medical lab coats do not require regulatory flame-retardant treatment. No evidence suggests Landau applies brominated or phosphorus-based flame retardants to non-FR garments.

The brand's record and disclosure
Landau is a major uniform and healthcare apparel manufacturer with no published PFAS policy and no publicly disclosed third-party certifications for chemical content in this product line. The brand does not appear in prominent sustainability databases or to have faced documented chemical contamination recalls for this garment type. Limited transparency on supplier chain or finish chemistry is typical for this market segment.
How it compares in its category
Medical and lab coats in this price range commonly use polyester-cotton blends to reduce wrinkle care and improve durability. Landau's 65/35 ratio is standard. Alternatives using 100% cotton require more pressing; 100% synthetic coats may trap heat. No lab coat in this category is typically treated with antimony or flame retardants unless marketed as flame-resistant, which this product does not claim.
If you buy it
Wash in warm water with mild detergent; polyester-cotton blends tolerate repeated laundering without degradation. Machine dry on medium heat or air dry to preserve elasticity. Inspect seams annually for fraying, which signals time to replace. Do not bleach or use high heat, as polyester degrades above 140°C and cotton can yellow. No special storage conditions are needed.
