DuPont will mark the 40th anniversary of Tyvek at the A+A show in Düsseldorf, Germany, in September.

A 100% recyclable, lightweight, water-resistant and breathable nonwoven material, Tyvek offers protection against exposure to various hazardous substances. Garments made from the material are now used in many sectors including the emergency services, manufacturing, laboratory, clean room and other industries where chemical and/or biological protection is required.
