Tyvek® is an excellent barrier to many harmful dry particulates including asbestos, lead dust, glass reinforced fibers and radioactive dusts.

Applications: Paint spraying, pesticides handling, asbestos abatement, clean room, fiberglass handling, food processing, general maintenance, light chemicals, mining operations, nuclear industries, etc.

Description of Fabric: Tyvek is a DuPont spunbonded olefin which has an antistatic coating applied and then put through a point bonded process that provides opacity. It was developed for asbestos removal, working with fiberglass and use in clean rooms. Although uncoated tyvek provides some liquid splash protection, it is not recommended for use against liquid chemicals or gases. Air conditioned tyvek provides greater breathability and is the fabric of choice for use in non-hazardous environments where low linting is required. Tyvek has not unusual burning charcteristics and meets the Flammable Fabrics Act requirements for Class 1 materials. However, it is not flame resistant and should not be used around heat, flame, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments.

Poly coated Tyvek QC is standard Tyvek which has been coated with polyethylene. Offers splash protection against many inorganic acids, bases and other liquid chemicals.

Applications: Acid handling and tank cleaning, agiculture and pesticide handling, asbestos removal, battery manufacturing, chemical handling, fiberglass and boat manufacturing, metal grinding and mining operations, general maintenance, hazardous waste management, metal finishing with acids and caustics, food processing, nuclear industries, paint spraying and clean room operations.

Description of fabric: Polycoated Tyvek QC is a standard tyvek fabric which has been “Quality Coated” with 1.25 mil polyethylene for reduced permeability to moisture, vapor and air. Polycoated Tyvek QC meets the Flammable Fabrics Act requirements for Class 1 materials. However, it is not flame resistant and should not be used around heat, flame, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments.

Saranex coated Tyvek23-P offers excellent liquid barrier protection in limited use apparel. More protective than Polycoated Tyvek because it resists a wider range of chemicals.

Applications: Acid handling and tank cleaning, agricultural and pesticide handling, asbestos abatement, chemical handling, emergency medical services, hazardous waste management, metal finishing and paint spraying.

Description of fabric: Saranex/Tyvek 23-P is a standard tyvek that is laminated with Saranex film. It offers superior protection, more so than polyethylene coated fabrics because it resists a wider range of chemicals. It has zero permeability to air and moisture, and therefore provides total protection against hazardous materials that are contacted during many industrial and hazardous situations.

Barricade offers ultimate protection against hazardous chemicals, liquids and vapors

Applications: Emergency spill response, hazardous waste management, acid handling and tank cleaning, agriculture and pesticide handling, chemical manufacturing.

Description of fabric: Barricade is a multi-layer film laminated onto a non-woven fabric. This combination offers exceptional strength and protection against many hazardous chemicals. Barricade garments are constructed with sealed seams which offer the same level of liquid tight integrity as the garment itself. Barricade offers excellent resistance to physical hazards such as tears, cuts and puncture. Meets the requirements of NFPA 1993. Barricade garments should not be used in environments where flame or heat may exist.
