Benefits, Features & Applications

Features:

DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Labo. Hooded coverall with attached, slip-retardant overshoes. Available in white in sizes SM to 3X. Robust yet lightweight (<250g per garment). 3-piece hood and gusset for improved fit. Elasticated face, wrists and ankles as well as glued-in waist elastic.
Tyvek® garments are composed of flash spun high density polyethylene, providing an ideal balance of protection, durability and comfort. Tyvek® is permeable to both air and water vapour, yet repels water-based liquids and aerosols. It offers an excellent barrier against fine particles and fibres (down to 1 micron in size), is ultra-low-linting and antistatically treated. Silicon non-added.

Applications:

Applications include the pharmaceutical industry, laboratories, cosmetics, optical and electronics.

Benefits:

  • Certified according to Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
  • Chemical protective clothing, Category III, Type 5 and 6.
  • EN 1073-2 (protection against radioactive contamination)
  • Antistatic treatment (EN 1149-5) - on both sides.
  • Stitched internal seams to help reduce contamination from the inside to the outside of the garment
  • Attached overshoes consisting of garment material with friction-coated sole to provide added slip-resistance
  • Suitable for use in GMP class C/D (ISO Class 6-9) clean rooms
  • Protects you and your processes in laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry
  • Extremely high garment production quality control specifications
 
 
 

Selling Tips

 
 
 
Tyvek® fabric - Unique attributes

Protective suits may look the same, but only from a distance. Check out DuPont Tyvek® material advantages over Microporous Film and SMS

Barrier to liquids
Permeation test: EN ISO 6529 – Method A

Permeation = a measure of chemical barrier performance. Permeation is invisible, but it may strike after a certain period of time if you are not sufficiently protected

Thanks to its unique structure, Tyvek® is a superior and safe barrier in terms of permeation resistance.

Microporous Film may give the perception of good liquid protection because of repellency properties when in reality chemicals quickly permeate through.

 
 
 
Hydrostatic Head: EN 20811

BEFORE & AFTER 10 CYCLES OF ABRASION: EN 530 – METHOD 2

Hydrostatic Head determines the resistance of a fabric to water penetration under slight pressure. A Hydrostatic Head of 100cm means that a fabric could hold a column of water that is 100cm tall.

Prior to the abrasion test Microporous Film offers the best resistance to liquid pressure. But after just 10 cycles of abrasion, its performance takes a spectacular dive, while SMS is less affected but starts from a much lower performance level, and Tyvek® continues to protect.

 
 
 
After abrasion, Tyvek® penetration performance is the highest.
Barrier to solid particulates
Protecting people from particulates 1

THE SUIT INWARD LEAKAGE TEST – EN ISO 13982 - 2

This test essentially determines the barrier efficiency of the suit when challenged with sodium chloride particulates of a defined size distribution.

Type 5 test allows up to 15% inward leakage of particulates in the suits but who wants to accept this hazardous particulate environment?

  • Microporous film fabrics may be easily abraded and the barrier layer can be readily worn away.
  • SMS fabrics tend to have quite open structures, offering low dry particle holdout performance to fine particulates.
  • Tyvek® Classic Plus with over-taped seams offer a higher overall protection.
 
 
 
Tyvek® product range, the highest barrier to particulates
Protecting people from particulates 2

NOMINAL PROTECTION FACTOR - EN 1073-2

A suit which offers the highest protection to the fine particulates will have LOW inward leakage, and thus a HIGH nominal protection factor.

Tyvek® Labo and Tyvek® Classic Plus meet Class 2.

The nominal protection factor is between 50 and 500.

 
 
 
Tyvek® product range, the highest barrier to particulates.
Protecting the processes from human & coverall particle shedding

DRY LINTING PROPENSITY BS 6909

(method for generation and counting of the airborne linting propensity of fabrics in the dry state)

Tyvek® is the ideal material for application needing low linting (e.g: paint, pharmaceutical applications). By nature of its continuous strong high density polyethylene fibers it does not shed fibers.

 
 
 
Tyvek® is low-linting
Comfort
Water vapour resistance = Ret (Resistance evaporation transmission)

Ret = the measurement of the resistance to evaporative heat loss. The lower the Ret value, the less resistance to moisture transfer and the more breathable the fabric.

SMS fabric with their open structure shows the best breathability performances but we know their protection performance is limited. Tyvek® offers the best balance between comfort and protection.

 
 
 
Humidity between underwear and garment

With their open structure, SMS coverall removes better the humidity than Microporous Film, by far.

Tyvek® meets quite good performances during sweating and recovery phase. Microporous Film is the material that takes the longest time to remove humidity.

 
 
 
Seams
Tight and reliable seams: a top priority for DuPont

When selecting a garment, carefully check the quality of the seams, as they contribute to the overall protection of the garment.

 
 
 

Not all seams are tight

Definition of tight = close

Tightness = so tightly made that liquids or gas cannot enter or escape.

Hydrohead results

Based on permeation and hydrohead test results, we can say that:

  • Stitched seams are not fully tight
  • Stitched and overtaped seam are tight and offer same barrier as fabric
Quality & sustainability
Core values & product stewardship

PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP

All products must

  • Be safe for use, correctly labeled to avoid misuse
  • Meet performance marketing claims (supported by technical data)
  • Composition verification for carcinogens and do not contain REACH substances or DMF
  • Skin Patch (allergy) testing conducted, latex review by toxicologist
  • Minimize environmental foot print
  • Comply with legislation

HIGHEST ENVIRONMENTAL & ETHICS STANDARDS

Rigorous policies in place to ensure the highest environmental respect & ethical standards.

Health, safety, quality, environmental standards applied externally with converters that go well beyond the local requirements or legislation. Audits are made via LOCAL DuPont contract operations personnel.

Going beyond the minimum requirements of the directive 89/686/ECC

TYVEK® STRINGENT QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Tyvek® is routinely and rigorously controlled under strict procedures.

Tyvek® fabric production quality control monitors more than 200 data/day.

Tyvek® garments are controlled at the converter location and at DuPont.

TYVEK® QUALITY CONTROL COMPLIES WITH ARTICLE 11

DuPont has the experience and testing facilities to implement:

  • “Non-routine” testing equipment for the fabric.
  • Type 4 & 6 test cabin (calibrated and comparable with external institute).

DuPont is periodically audited by a notified body to check Tyvek® conformity to the relevant requirements.
