Keeps out dust
March 1st 2009 At the Holcim (Deutschland) AG
Lägerdorf site in Germany,
employees working in cement
production now wear limited-use
type 5/6 chemical protective
garments made of DuPont Tyvek
Classic to protect them from dust
and dirt.
To keep flames in the kiln
continually burning at temperatures
to 2000°C, necessary to enhance the
quality of the compound and the
end product, the fuels are fed into
the rotary kilns as finely dispersed
powders, flakes and/or fluff. These
substances are prone to creating dust.
Tyvek material has a high liquid and
particle barrier, low specific weight
and high resistance to tear, tear
growth and abrasion, while ensuring
an effective level of permeability to
air and water vapour. More articles from Dupont Personal Protection: |
