TYVEK® sets the industry standard - with the best balance of protection, durability and comfort. From janitorial and general maintenance to food processing to the hazardous materials handling of lead, mould silica or asbestos, TYVEK® is the proven solution.
An inherent barrier - not a laminate or film — TYVEK® stops microscopic particles even after it's been abraded. In fact, in independent garment testing, TYVEK® was proven more than twice as durable as other fabrics.
At DuPont™, we know comfort is very important, too. Protective apparel that can't "breathe" negatively impacts worker productivity and job statisfaction. TYVEK® is premeable to both air and water vapour allowing the fabric to "breathe". It is also extremely light, soft and flexible. You can have it all — protection, comfort and durability — so why compromise.
