Dual fabric coverall
October 1st 2008

The DuPont Tyvek Dual coverall is a Category III, type 5 and 6 protective garment that features a front and sleeves made entirely from Tyvek fabric and a back panel made of DuPont's Advanced Composite Technology (ACT) fabric.

While the durable Tyvek material offers good barrier protection against fine particles and fibres and repels water-based liquids and vapours, the ultra high air and water vapour permeability and tactile touch of the ACT fabric is said to provide increased levels of comfort.

The ergonomically designed ACT panel stretches from the back of the head down to the back of the ankles, reflecting the position of the body's sweat points.

The garment has externally stitched seams and a zip and zip flaps made of Tyvek to give increased protection and durability in areas of high stress (such as knees, elbows, zip area and crotch). Elasticated wrist cuffs, ankles and facial openings form tight seals to help to reduce the risk of penetration from the outside to the inside of the garment.
