Tyvek® protective clothing from DuPont offers reliable protection against hazardous substances.

Tyvek® is a paper fleece-like textile made of welded high-pressure polyethylene (HDPE) fibres. It is used as a material for protective clothing in the processing of fibre composites, in clean-room technology, in the operating theatre and in forensics.

Tyvek® is a trademark of the company DuPont.

High protective performance
Tyvek® provides a barrier against many inorganic chemicals in low concentrations and particles larger than 1µm. It does not form fluff. The smooth surface repels liquids and offers no adhesion to fibres or dust.

Resistant
Tyvek® is resistant to abrasion and tearing and thus withstands mechanical stress. It is flame retardant (+125°C) and water repellent.

Comfortable
Tyvek® is permeable to air and water vapour and therefore "breathable". They are very comfortable to wear, light and flexible.
