Protection accessories
November 1st 2007

DuPont Personal Protection is expanding its range of protective apparel with partial protection accessories made of Tyvek and a new range of partial protection accessories made of Tychem.

Tyvek accessories now include laboratory coats with elasticated cuffs, boot covers with improved slip-retardant soles for use on smooth or damp floors, and close-fitting sleeves. To reduce particle emissions from garment seams, the elastication at the top and bottom of the sleeve is encapsulated.

Tyvek has a low particle emissions rate and is very resistant to abrasion. When used for chemical protection, Tyvek affords a barrier against particles with diameters in excess of 1µm and many inorganic chemicals in low concentrations.

Tychem partial protection additions include close fitting sleeves, standard aprons, sleeved aprons and boot covers with slip retardant soles. These are available in Tychem C and Tychem F.
