Tyvek®, (Spunbonded Olefin), Specifications

With Tyvek® protective clothing you don’t have to compromise. That’s because Tyvek® protective clothing delivers the best balance of protection, durability and comfort.

Made using a proprietary manufacturing process, Tyvek® features a protective inherent barrier. Tyvek is 100% High Density Polyethylene, (HDPE), and it's generic trade name is "spunbonded olefin". So, unlike other protective clothing fabrics, which have either a film or coating that can be easily scratched or worn away, Tyvek® provides barrier through the entire fabric.

As a result, your protection is not compromised unless the clothing has been completely torn which isn’t easy to do because of the strength and durability of Tyvek.® Make sure you’re getting Tyvek.® Ask for it by name. Barrier Protection You Can Trust, Durability That Isn’t Easily Compromised
