Garment delivers enhanced protection

23 September 2008

The DuPont Tychem BR garment, is certified to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 1994 Class 2, 2007 edition standard, providing first responders an increased level of protection when dealing with chemical, biological or radioactive incidents. It is lighter weight and less cumbersome than a traditional fully encapsulated suit.

It provides increased vapour and liquid protection, is easier and faster to change into and is more cost-effective than traditional garments.
Tychem BR fabric has been successfully tested against more than 240 chemicals. It provides durability and tear-, puncture- and abrasion-resistance. In addition, the new NFPA 1994 Class 2 Tychem BR is specifically engineered for ease of putting on and taking off, thereby making it easy for first responders to complete their work in even the most challenging situations.
