An innovative protective coverall that protects against particulates and water-based liquids while improving comfort for workers wearing PPE during long shifts has come to market.The Tyvek® 400 Dual TG coverall was developed by DuPont in collaboration with customers involved in the production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. It is a Category III Type 5 and 6 anti-chemical protective clothing designed for specific applications: when handling chemicals and manufacturing EV batteries, during spray painting, exposure to hazardous substances in powder form or cytostatics in the pharmaceutical industry, and fine particles of hazardous materials or composite materials.
The coverall’s design features solutions that help better protect the wearer. Internal gloves made of Tyvek® fleece are attached to the sleeve cuffs to protect the wrists. Feet and ankles are better protected thanks to Tyvek® socks connected to the legs of the suit. The hood provides a snug fit for safety helmets, and taped seams at the upper body, armpits and wrists help protect the product and process from potential contamination by the wearer or by the garment’s seams during typical activities.
An additional benefit is the reduction of packaging waste, for the reason that the product comes in a cardboard box with no packaging along with one copy of the instructions for use.
