DuPont garment offers dual protection from chemicals and fire
07/06/2017
It is designed for use in refineries, petrochemical plants, laboratories and hazardous maintenance operations, where there are both chemical and fire hazard threats.
“By providing dual protection, Tychem 2000 SFR meets the unique needs of industrial workers and HazMat responders who are exposed to both chemical and fire hazard threats,” said David Domnisch, global marketing manager for Tyvek Protective Apparel.
The company explained that the garment provides an “effective barrier” against a range of inorganic acids and bases, as well as industrial cleaning chemicals. It added that the garment will not ignite during a flash fire, but must be worn over an appropriate flame-resistant (FR) garment to ensure full protection.
“This is just the first of several new protective apparel solutions that we will be launching in our Tyvek and Tychem product range during 2017 as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Tyvek,” Mr Domnisch said.
