Additional protection
October 1st 2007 Additional
DuPont Personal Protection
is expanding its range of
protective apparel with
additional partial protection
accessories made of Tyvek
and a new range of partial
protection accessories made
of Tychem.
The range of Tyvek
accessories now includes
laboratory coats with
elasticated cuffs, boot
covers with improved slipretardant
soles for use on
smooth or damp floors, and
close-fitting sleeves. To
reduce particle emissions
from garment seams in
critical production
environments, 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,
making it suitable for use in
cleanroom environments.
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. More articles from Dupont Personal Protection LUX: |
