Lab coats are typically categorized based on their material and intended use. The three common types are: standard cotton or poly-cotton lab coats, which are suitable for general laboratory work; flame-resistant lab coats, made from materials like Nomex or treated cotton, designed for environments with fire hazards; and chemical-resistant lab coats, often made from synthetic materials like Tyvek, which provide protection against chemical splashes. Each type is chosen based on the specific hazards present in the laboratory setting.
