In a series of videos, Professor Victor Tytonius, the cyber scientist who specialises in worker protection and chemical protective clothing and materials, carries out scientific experiments to reveal the performance of three non-woven structures - Tyvek®, MPF (Microporous Film) and SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown- Spunbond). Through this innovative and humorous presentation, the animation delivers the important scientific message that if you want to have the very best protection, protection in use that can stand up to the task at hand, you should invest in a quality, high performing coverall.
Durability and comfort
Tyvek® is extremely durable, highly resistant to tear and abrasion but still breathable and because of the smooth surface of the finished fabric, it is still soft to touch and extremely flexible, not restricting movement. The combination of these
properties explains why Tyvek® is so comfortable to wear.
Protection
Tyvek® offers exceptionally high levels of protection against a variety of liquid or solid chemicals, as well as dust and fibres because its smooth surface repels both liquids and particles, offering the highest chemical barrier in its category. It also prevents human contamination of products and processes in cleanroom environments, pharmaceutical or food industries Tyvek® is the ideal material because the continuous, strong, high density polyethylene fibres do not shed and it does not contain additives or fillers. Even after surface abrasion, the fabric retains a high level of barrier because the entire thickness of the fabric constitutes the ‘barrier’ itself. This means that contamination, whether from the person wearing the coverall or the environment that the person is working in, is minimised, therefore offering complete protection for products or processes.
Ultimately DuPont core ambition is to protect every single person in every conceivable situation, and continuous attention is paid to every detail. It is this attention that ensures Tyvek® makes the difference.
