What Landau Women's Lab Coat - 3 Button is made of, ingredients and materials
This lab coat is a cotton-polyester blend, a standard choice in medical and laboratory settings for durability and easy care. Cotton provides breathability and comfort; polyester adds wrinkle resistance and longevity. The blend chemistry itself does not inherently trigger concerns around heavy metal dyes or problematic coatings, though finishing chemicals used during manufacture remain a consideration common to all textiles.
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.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Cotton-polyester blends often use formaldehyde-based finishing agents for wrinkle resistance and shrinkage control. No recall or specific testing on record for Landau lab coats, but the hazard is common to the material class; washing before use reduces exposure.
Source, ATSDR ↗Antimony in polyester
Antimony trioxide is used as a catalyst in polyester production and may be present as a trace residue in the fabric. Exposure via skin contact is considered low risk due to poor dermal absorption, but the hazard is inherent to polyester material, not brand-specific.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and off-gassing
New textiles may off-gas residual solvents, dyes, and finishing chemicals for the first few wears and washes. Washing and airing out before first clinical use substantially reduces short-term inhalation exposure.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Heavy metals
No documented contamination or recall involving lead, cadmium, or problematic azo dye use in Landau lab coats. Standard cotton-polyester blends in medical apparel typically use colorfast dyes, and white or light-colored variants carry lower azo-dye risk.
Source, FDA ↗Flame retardants
Lab coats are not typically required to meet flame-retardant standards and Landau does not advertise flame-resistant treatment on this model. No evidence of intentional flame-retardant application to standard cotton-polyester blends in their product line.

The brand's record and disclosure
Landau is a long-established uniform and healthcare apparel manufacturer with no widely documented safety recalls or chemical disclosure controversies on record for their standard lab coats. The brand has maintained a silent stance on PFAS, meaning no public commitment to avoid it, but also no evidence of intentional use in their basic cotton-polyester lines. No third-party certifications (such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS) are standard to their product labeling.
How it compares in its category
Lab coats in this price and material tier are typical workwear; cotton-polyester blends are industry standard and carry no higher chemical risk than comparable brands. Alternatives with certified organic cotton or third-party chemical testing exist but command higher cost. This product occupies the mainstream middle ground without unusual hazard elevation or mitigation.
If you buy it
Wash in warm water with mild detergent before first wear to remove residual finishing chemicals and dyes. Avoid bleach to prevent dye degradation and unnecessary chemical exposure. Dry on low to medium heat or air-dry; high heat can degrade polyester fibers over time. Replace when seams fray, fabric pills severely, or stains persist after laundering; typical service life is 1-3 years with regular clinical use.
