DuPont Protection Technologies announced the launch of two new products, DuPontTyvek Plus and Tyvek Xpert CE certified garments, designed to help keep workers safe and clean on the job.
 
Both Tyvek Plus and Tyvek Xpert garments are composed of flash spun high-density polyethylene, a nonwoven material available only from DuPont. Tyvek Plus garments offer a variety of benefits including high resistance to abrasion and tearing. The serged and over-taped seams of Tyvek Plus garments provide an effective barrier against many water-based inorganic chemicals in low concentration and particles down to 1.0 micron in size. 
 
Tyvek Xpert garments have been tested to standards against light liquid aerosols and airborne solid particles, and provide an effective barrier against small size particles down to 1.0 micron in size. Tyvek Xpert garments offer very low inward leakage due to optimized design features, with serged external seams. In addition, Tyvek Xpert garments have a Tyvek auto-lock zipper and storm flap for increased protection. Both products are CE certified for Category III garments.
 
“Tyvek garments truly provide an ideal balance of durability, comfort and superior protection,” said Dave Kee, North America marketing manager. “The Tyvek fabric offers an inherent barrier that won’t wear away and enables a full range of motion. The new Tyvek Plus and Tyvek Xpert garments broaden an already robust product portfolio from DuPont Protection Technologies and help address protective apparel needs in a range of industries.”
 
Tyvek Plus garments are suitable in a wide variety of applications including nuclear, maintenance, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical applications, and research and biosecurity laboratories. Tyvek Xpert garments can be used in applications such as pharmaceutical handling, chemical processing, and automatic spray painting and maintenance applications.
 
From particulate hazards to waste treatment, DuPontTyvek helps provide comfortable and durable protection – an ideal balance for a variety of industrial uses, including general maintenance, contracting and mold remediation. Tyvek garments have years of demonstrated performance helping to keep wearers dry and protected against a variety of aerosols, particles, dust, dirt and grime.
 
DuPont has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.
