Tyvek® – high-quality cleanroom clothing

Tyvek® is a 100% synthetic material made from high-density polyethylene fleece. Tyvek® is lightweight, durable, breathable, and yet highly resistant to water, abrasion, bacterial penetration, and aging. This makes it an outstanding material for improving various applications in numerous industries.

Tyvek® for PPE

Tyvek® is used to manufacture comfortable protective clothing for personal protective equipment that offers protection against numerous chemical threats and hazards. From clean rooms to hazardous cleaning work, Tyvek® offers the right personal protective equipment for your task.

What properties does Tyvek®offer?

Tyvek® is available in two versions: with a firm structure, which is used for house cladding and medical applications, among other things, or with a soft, textile-like structure, which is suitable for protective clothing and various everyday products. Tyvek®'s special material technology ensures high performance in numerous areas of application.
  • Water-repellent  – Processing Tyvek® fibers under high pressure and intense heat creates a thermoplastic, high-density material in a semi-solid state that reliably prevents liquids from penetrating the surface.
  • Breathable  – Since Tyvek® is manufactured without additional binders, fine pores are created that make the material vapor-permeable. This allows water vapor to escape while water and other liquids are retained – for optimal breathability.
  • Protective barrier  – Tyvek®'s continuous filament offers natural resistance to the penetration of microorganisms and pollutants. Hazardous particles such as asbestos, mold spores, glass fibers, or lead cannot pass through the material.
  • High tear resistancet – Tyvek® consists of randomly arranged, highly compressed fibers that provide exceptional tear and puncture resistance. The result is a durable, long-lasting protective material for demanding applications.
  • Recyclability  – For numerous applications, Tyvek not only offers unique performance advantages, but is also 100% recyclable, giving Tyvek® products a second life as park benches or playground equipment.

Less waste

Thanks to its low weight, high durability, and consistent performance, Tyvek® reduces energy and resource consumption throughout its entire service life and minimizes waste at the end of its useful life.

Recyclable

Tyvek® is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is fully recyclable.*

Recycling of production residues

DuPont operates its own recycling plant right next to the factory in Luxembourg. There, a modern shredder-feeder-extruder system processes all Tyvek® production waste and converts it into reusable HDPE granulate. This material is used, for example, to manufacture plastic cores onto which Tyvek® rolls are wound for storage and transport.
