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.
