Disposable coverall for effective protection
4 Dec 2013
Available in 2014, the DuPont Tychem 4000 S coverall provides an optimum barrier against a range of chemical hazards while also being supple and lightweight.
Tychem 4000 S garments utilise a chemical barrier film laminated to Tyvek fabric to achieve a barrier to permeation by a broad range of inorganic and also organic chemicals, including phenol, ethanol and methanol.
“We believe that uncomfortable personal protective equipment (PPE) can influence non-compliance of safety procedures in the workplace, and that by developing proper and comfortable PPE, we can help to improve compliance and thus reduce the risk of injury,” said Chloe Caux-Wetherell, product leader EMEA at DuPont Protection Technologies.
As well as providing high chemical protection, the suppleness and flexibility of the fabric results in a lightweight, comfortable garment that is easy to wear.
A high level of care has also been placed in optimising the shape and fit of the garment, particularly when moving.
At the same time, the garment benefits from several design features, such as a double-zip and double-cuff systems, that enhance its user-acceptance and the overall protection it affords.
Worker safety is also enhanced by the white colour of Tychem 4000 S garments as it provides a contrast across a wide range of natural backgrounds.
