Tyvek is a unique, nonwoven material comprised of heat and pressure bonded polyethylene filaments. Resistant to penetration, Tyvek is a highly effective contamination control fabric. It is chemically and biologically inert, low linting and static-free until it is laundered. Tyvek provides an ideal balance of protection, durability and comfort of any limited use fabric technology. Tyvek fabric offers an inherent barrier to particles down to 1 micron in size. Protection is built into the fabric itself; there are no films or laminates to abrade or wear away. Tyvek fabric's durability advantage over microporous film and SMS fabrics delivers consistently better barrier, even after wear and abrasion. Applications include: lead and asbestos abatementremedation, general maintenanceoperations, spray painting, and general clean-up.
