Coverall role
June 1st 2007 At the Toulouse-Blagnac
airport zone in France, Airbus
staff rely on the protection of
DuPont Tyvek® and Tychem®
coveralls in paint spraying
and aircraft maintenance and
inspection applications.
In the Airbus 320 paint
shop PPE includes DuPont
Tyvek Classic Plus coveralls
with integrated thumb loops,
powered respirator, safety
gloves and safety footwear.
As the painters' work
involves reaching over the
guardrails with arms
outstretched, the thumb
loop attached to the sleeve
of the coverall ensures that
sleeves stay in place under
the safety gloves.
The coverall is designed to
give protection from liquid
splashes and mists and is
compatible with the ventilated
respirators, gloves and safety
footwear worn by painters.
In another area, the Airbus
A340 aircraft is built and
assembled. Airbus inspectors
and their customers'
counterparts rely on DuPont
Tychem F coveralls with
integrated socks to protect
them from contact with
sealants and greasy
substances used during
manufacturing and testing. More articles from DuPont Personal Protection UK: |
