DuPont Protection Technologies launches new garments

DuPont Protection Technologies has launched the DuPont™ Tyvek® Plus and Tyvek® Xpert CE certified garments, which are made of flash spun high-density polyethylene, a nonwoven material available from DuPont.

Tyvek® Plus garments have high resistance to abrasion and tearing, and provide an effective barrier against many water-based inorganic chemicals in low concentration and particles down to 1.0 micron in size, the company said. Tyvek® Xpert garments offer very low inward leakage due to optimized design features, with serged external seams. Both products are CE certified for Category III garments.

The Plus garments are for those who work in pharmaceutical manufacturing or research, while the Xpert garments can be used in chemical processing. Maintenance workers may use both garments.
