Tyvek 800 J limited-use coverall
27 Nov 2013
Available in 2014, the DuPont Tyvek 800 J coverall is an innovation in Type 3 (liquid tight) protection; combining oil repellency and durability with fabric breathability.
The garment, based on the barrier performance of Tyvek, uses proprietary technology to combine oil repellency and durable protection against pressurised jets of liquids and water-based chemicals with fabric breathability – an innovation in Type 3 (liquid tight) protection.
Using impervious technology, specific to the new Tyvek 800 J garment, its barrier performance has been enhanced to achieve Category III, Type 3 liquid tight protection (jet)* as well as oil repellency.
The coverall, whilst limited-use, is both tough and robust, whilst – similar to all other Tyvek coverall – being permeable to both air and water vapour for greater wearer comfort.
It meets the requirements for protection against biological hazards (EN 14126), protection against radioactive contamination (EN 1073-2) and finally protection against electrostatic discharge (antistatic according to EN 1149-5).
Similar to other Tyvek garments, achieving an ergonomic fit consistent with the shape and movements of the user is at the core of the development of new Tyvek 800 J.
Hood, sleeve, waist and leg design is optimised to achieve a close, protective fit when moving which remains uninhibited by the flexibility and lightness of the fabric itself.

* Additional taping of cuffs, ankles, hood and zipper flap required to achieve Type 3 liquid tightness.
