DuPont™ Tyvek® and Tychem® Protective Apparel Fact Sheet

DuPont™ Tyvek® sets the industry standard for the best balance of dry particulate protection, durability and comfort for a wide range of applications – including general maintenance and manufacturing, painting, cleanroom facilities, environmental and mold remediation.



Unlike laminates or film products, Tyvek® is an inherent barrier, so it can stop microscopic particles even if it’s abraded during regular wear and use on the job.



The family of DuPont™ Tychem® products offers reliable protection from a range of threats – from light liquid splash to radioactive environments, to industrial chemicals and warfare agents.



Tychem® products are available in a variety of garment designs from coveralls to fully encapsulated Level A Hazmat suits to meet specific user needs for protection, comfort, mobility and visibility.



DuPont™ Tychem® F and CPF3 HD have been specifically designed for homeland defense applications.



Tychem® is a strong fabric that is both rugged and durable, reducing the risk of tears and abrasion.



Tychem® CPF3 HD garments deliver protective barriers against 110 toxic industrial chemicals.



The Tychem® CPF3 HD fabric is designed to stand up to chemical warfare agents including Sarin, Mustard and Lewisite.



Tychem® ThermoPro offers both chemical/biological protection and flashfire protection in a single layer garment. Having both chem./bio and flashfire protection in one protective garment means that first responders won’t waste crucial time choosing between chemical protection and thermal protection.



The Tychem® ThermoPro suit provides at least one-hour breakthrough protection against 20 of the 21 standard ASTM chemicals.



DuPont also offers Tychem® garments that are certified to NFPA 1994 and NFPA 1991 standards.
