DuPont recognizes the need to provide contamination-free workplaces and to comply with strict pharmaceutical industry regulations. Therefore, DuPont protective clothing provides reliable protection to both workers and sensitive pharmaceutical processes and products, relying on scientific expertise in personal protection and the unique properties of the light and durable Tyvek® fabric.
DuPont™ Tyvek® barrier fabric uses a patented non-woven fabric construction to provide a protective fabric that allows moisture vapor to pass through. The material is produced from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), very fine uninterrupted fibers, which is made into a hard, light and homogeneous fabric with spontaneous vapor permeability thanks to its microscopic knit structure. Its ability to evacuate body moisture increases the comfort of the wearer in many Types 4, 5 and 6 applications. With its open structure, SMS coveralls remove much more moisture than Micro-Porous Film. Tyvek® performs very well during sweating. Micro-Porous Film is the material from which moisture is removed the longest.
