Tyvek coveralls, created by Dupont, features a single layer of synthetic material called high-density polyethylene. This single layer manages to be extremely resistant to hazardous chemicals, dry matter, paint, lead, mold, and water. It protects the user from particles as small as 0.000039 inches (1 millionth of a meter or 1 micron) even after the material has been abraded. The material is tear resistant and thus tough enough for a broad range of activities. The only way to ruin a Tyvek suit is to tear it completely. Despite being disposable, the garment is able to be reused unless it is torn or exposed to hazardous chemicals.

Despite the material’s strength, Tyvek suits are made with comfort in mind. Heat and sweat vapor pass out of the garment to make sure the user stays cool. The material allows for air to pass in and out of the suit while still protecting against particulates. Tyvek apparel is uniquely durable because the protection is the material itself. Microporous apparel utilizes a thin protective layer built in after the base of the garment is manufactured. This creates problems if the garment rips or if the thin protective layer is worn down. It is no wonder that Tyvek’s apparel is the industry standard.

Critical environments and cleanrooms often ask if Tyvek is cost-effective. The disposable coveralls may offer a higher degree of protection per dollar than other materials. Always tailor your personal protective equipment to your application. Make sure to order at least one size larger than clothing size for the best fit! 

High-Performance disposable apparel preferred in many environments where you need to protect against non-toxic liquid spray and dust. Cleanrooms, medical facilities, pharmaceutical plants, industrial spaces, and contractors use Tyvek. Applications where superior barrier and repellency are needed benefit from the unique composition. The specific model of coverall depends on your demands.
