Protection against pesticides

The use of phytosanitary products or pesticides to provide protection against parasites is an essential part of integrated farming. As phytosanitary products can pose a risk to health, it is important that the products are handled with care and anybody working with them should wear PPE.

DuPont Personal Protection offers a range of single-use protective clothing as well as complementary accessories to protective coveralls.

Included in its range is the DuPont Tychem C and Tychem F partial protection accessories. Comprised of sleeves, aprons, gowns with back closures and slip-resistant overboots, the range is now certified as Category III Type PB chemical protective clothing, confirming its ability to provide enhanced protection in the most exposed situations.

Tychem C and Tychem F are especially suited to protecting people working with phytosanitary products against potential contamination through the skin, as they enhance the protection offered by Type 4 coveralls during specific operations.
