DuPont has designed a limited-use chemical protective coverall Tyvek 800 J, that offers both durability and lightweight comfort in environments that require chemical, liquid and/or oil protection
Tyvek 800 J has been created for use in industrial cleaning applications, such as pressure washing and tank cleaning, food processing, petrochemical installations and environmental, according to the firm.
“Tyvek® 800 J was developed to offer superior protection with the freedom of movement and durability wearers of Tyvek® expect,” said Dave Kee, North America marketing manager, DuPont Protection Solutions.
“The garment is further enhanced by a streamlined fit with an integrated hood and closures at the wrists and legs for ease of donning and doffing. The garment design also features distinct orange taped seams to provide colour contrast,” added Kee.
Tyvek 800 J can withstand pressurised jets of low-concentration, water-based, inorganic chemicals and can be used for use in cleaning operations using spray gyns where liquid splash can be encountered, noted DuPont.
