Click2Contact

DuPont has introduced theTyvek 800J protective garment, which is designed to provide extra liquid repellency, even under pressure, while still providing a level of breathability and a high level of comfort.

The Tyvek 800J provides a good balance of protection, durability and comfort. It uses ‘impervious technology’ to achieve an effective barrier against many low-concentrated, water-based inorganic chemicals (even under pressure) and small-sized hazardous particulates, as well as oil repellency. The fabric is antistatically treated. Silicon is not added.

Applications for the garments include those in very humid applications requiring chemical, liquid protection and/or oil repellency.

Typical activities include industrial cleaning, work at petrochemical installations, in sewers and maintenance operations.

Features, benefits and standards for the Tyvek 800J include: chemical protective clothing, Category III, Type 3-B, 4-B, 5-B and 6-B; EN 14126 (barrier to infective agents), EN 1073-2 (protection against radioactive contamination); antistatic treatment (EN 1149-5) - on inside; stitched and over-taped seams for protection and strength; Tyvek zipper and zipper flap for enhanced protection; additional taping of cuffs, ankles, hood and zipper flap are required to achieve a type 3 liquid tightness; and face, wrist and ankle elastication for good fit.
