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. More articles from Dupont Personal Protection: |
