DuPont Tyvek - 50 years of scientific innovation in the service of protection

Over the last 50 years, Tyvek technology has played a considerable role in protecting those who protect others: examples include the healthcare staff in West Africa dealing with the Ebola virus and the workers involved in the clean-up operation following the tsunami in Japan, including the Fukushima nuclear power station.

Can a single material help protect workers’ lives? Can it help battle the spread of a deadly disease? If the material in question is DuPont Tyvek, the answer is “yes.”

Designed in 1967, DuPont Tyvek is a non-woven material that has revolutionised the limited use chemical protection garment market thanks to its combination of exceptional properties: chemical barrier, durability and breathability.
