Protection for the Toughest Jobs from a Name You Can Trust
Protect Your Greatest Assets with DuPont™ Tyvek®, Tychem®, and ProShield® Protective Clothing
DuPont offers personal protective equipment (PPE) and chemical protective clothing to help safeguard workers in a wide range of jobsite tasks. For protection against a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous particles, liquids, and vapors, as well as flash fire risks and chemical threats that can’t be seen — DuPont Personal Protection has your back.
From dirty jobs to industrial chemicals to asbestos abatement, emergency response, and more — DuPont understands the risks. That’s why DuPont Personal Protection provides unparalleled solutions including Tyvek® and Tychem® PPE designed to help keep workers safe. Plus, DuPont rigorously tests all Tyvek® and Tychem® fabrics to eliminate “what ifs.” DuPont continues to innovate by developing cutting-edge solutions like DuPont™ SafeSPEC™, an online tool that helps safety managers make the best decisions when selecting PPE.
It’s just another way DuPont helps keep workers safe.
For workplace tasks with multiple hazards, DuPont Personal Protection offers a range of Secondary Flame Resistant (SFR) disposable protective apparel including Tyvek® 400 SFR, Tychem® 2000 SFR, and Tychem® 6000 SFR.
When facing potential flash fire hazards, it’s imperative that you have the right protection — that’s why DuPont offers differentiated solutions to meet your unique safety needs.
When selecting a secondary flame-resistant (SFR) protective garment, it is important to examine both the flame-resistant (FR) requirements and perform a hazard assessment for hazardous and nonhazardous particles, liquids, or chemicals.
In many workplaces, dual chemical and fire hazards are both serious concerns. Don’t compromise on protection.
Tyvek® 400 SFR
Tyvek® 400 SFR features the trusted protection, durability, and comfort of Tyvek®, now with secondary flame resistance. These lightweight disposable overgarments are designed to help protect and preserve primary flame-resistant (FR) garments. Tyvek® offers an inherent barrier against hazardous and non-hazardous particles, oils and greases, while providing secondary flame resistance when worn over appropriate primary flame-resistant (FR) protective clothing.
- In the event that a flash fire occurs, Tyvek® 400 SFR garments won’t ignite and won’t contribute to additional burn injury if appropriate primary flame-resistant personal protective equipment, such as DuPont™ Nomex®, is worn beneath.
- Applications include: oil & gas, manufacturing, environmental services, dirty jobs, utilities
Tychem® 2000 SFR
Tychem® 2000 SFR offers chemical and secondary flame protection in a lightweight garment. Tychem® 2000 SFR garments provide an effective barrier against a range of inorganic acids and bases as well as industrial cleaning chemicals and particles and provide at least 30 minutes of protection against >40 chemical challenges. They’re an ideal option for keeping workers safe from chemicals, while not compromising the flame protection of fire-resistance clothing worn beneath them.
- In the event that a flash fire occurs, Tychem® 2000 SFR garments won’t contribute additional burn injury if appropriate flame-resistant personal protective equipment is worn beneath.
- Applications include: refineries, petrochemical plants, laboratories, hazardous maintenance operations
Tychem® 6000 SFR
Tychem® 6000 SFR provides broad chemical protection and secondary flame resistance in a lightweight garment. Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide at least 30 minutes of protection against >250 chemical challenges, including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals and flammable organic solvents. The garment also meets the U.S. industry requirements for blood (ASTM F1670) and viral penetration (ASTM F1671) protecting against several bloodborne pathogen exposure risks. Tychem® 6000 SFR provides secondary flame resistance when worn over primary flame-resistant garments like those made with DuPont™ Nomex.
- In the event that a flash fire occurs, Tychem® 6000 SFR garments won’t contribute additional burn injury if appropriate flame-resistant personal protective equipment is worn beneath.
- Applications include: oil & gas, industrial chemical processing plants, petrochemical plants, laboratories, hazardous maintenance operations, hazmat teams in fire departments, industrial fire brigades, clandestine lab investigation.
