Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main difference between Tyvek and Tychem?
Tyvek is designed for protection against fine particles and light liquid splashes, offering high breathability. Tychem is engineered for heavy-duty chemical protection, providing a more robust barrier against pressurized liquids and toxic gases.
2. Can DuPont Tyvek coveralls be reused?
Tyvek garments are typically designed for limited-use or as disposables. While they are durable, their protective barrier can be compromised after exposure to chemicals or heavy wear, so disposal after one use is generally recommended for maximum safety.
3. Are DuPont garments anti-static treated?
Yes, most Tyvek and Tychem coveralls are treated to be antistatic on both sides, meeting the requirements of EN 1149-5 to reduce the risk of spark generation in flammable environments.
4. How do I know which DuPont suit is right for my chemical?
DuPont provides the "SafeSPEC" tool, a comprehensive database where you can enter the specific chemicals you are working with to find the exact garment that meets the required permeation resistance.
