Protective apparel range expanded
16 April 2009
DuPont Personal Protection is expanding its range of protective apparel in Europe with a range of partial protection accessories made of Tychem C and Tychem F, ideal for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Protective apparel range expanded
Partial protection is particularly useful when an increased barrier effect is required for certain parts of the body to protect these parts against a higher risk for a limited period.
Where abrasion on specific areas occurs accessories can be used and replaced when worn out without having to replace the entire protective apparel.
Tychem C provides a barrier against many concentrated inorganic chemicals, whilst Tychem F provides an additional barrier against many organic and highly concentrated inorganic chemicals, up to pressures as high as 5 bar. Both materials satisfy the requirements of a bio-barrier in accordance with EN 14126 in the highest performance class.
Tychem is ultra light, tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant and low-linting. When used in protective apparel, it is anti-statically treated and complies with EN 1149-1:1995 (fully effective from 25% relative air humidity). It does not contain any environmentally harmful additives, the protective apparel can be safely and easily disposed of after use. If contaminated by a hazardous substance, the same disposal regulations apply as for the hazardous substance itself.
