Suits laboratory use

Controlled environments in laboratories or the pharmaceutical industry mean that people working in those environments, the products being manufactured or the production processes all need protecting. To resolve this issue DuPont has developed the new Tyvek Labo coverall that incorporates three functions: it protects the wearer, it protects the products and processes and it is comfortable to wear.

Tyvek Labo protects the wearer with an inherent barrier and is antistatically treated to dissipate electrostatic charges when the wearer and garment are earthed. The ultra smooth surface of Tyvek repels particles. The suit is certified to type 5 & 6 and offers 1.3% particle holdout for particles of size 0.6 micron based on the test method EN ISO 13982- 2:2004. It offers a chemical permeation barrier to many low concentrated inorganic chemicals.

The design of the coverall features internal seams that help reduce thread contamination, tunnelled elastic cuffs and ankles and a well adapted fit to the body and face mask.
