Using Tyvek Suits To Protect From Chemicals Is Appropriate And Inexpensive

By Krystal Branch


Tyvek Suits, created and manufactured by Dupont are the standard to which all other disposable protective garments are compared. It is a single high density layer of polyethylene fabric that is almost impervious to all aerosols or liquid contamination. They are used by many individuals in various industries.

In some industries, such as food plants, the suits will protect the product from the wearer and any contamination they carry on their clothes. This is also the case in pharmaceutical and electronic clean rooms. The nature of these garments is to prevent passage of contaminants from one side of the fabric to the other. This is a flexible material in this sense and can be used to denote personnel working in various areas or practicing different disciplines.

These suits will come in various colors. Many of them have hoods and some of them will have booties or shoe coverings attached. Elastic wrist bands is the normal configuration, however, there are those with belted openings. The neck will be collared if there is no hood. A model that has a hood, booties and drawstring type face opening is the best protection for all situations especially if a pair of goggles are also worn.

The proper size is important as the movement of the employees body must not be limited. Most of these suits have a seamless front panel with full zipper. Some have flaps over the zippers and all of them have stretchy panels for the back. Many of the more expensive suits will have an additional belt in the back to tighten the garment and prevent loose material from flapping.

Chemical plants will use these items to protect the workers from any spills they will inevitably have. The nature of the fabric will stop the passage of this, possibly, dangerous chemical from getting on the employee. These will protect them as long as they are not dipped into a tank of the offending substance. They are also strong enough to be able to crawl around in some of the dirtiest areas in order to clean them or service other systems.

Many cleaning operations and operators will wear these suits. Crime scene clean up and foreclosure cleaning are a few of these activities. Many window cleaners will use these as they are protected from getting wet. With the extra layer of clothing they stay warm at some of the heights at which they work.

Since these suits can be used in many industries, it is natural for many others to explore the potentials for theirs. Processes can speed up and cleaning opportunities can be seized when the dangers associated with chemicals and other liquids are minimized. Carefully using a properly fastened garment in a professional way can assist in more production, cleaner areas and more employees going home safe and sound.

Using these Tyvek Suits, in the way they are supposed to be used, will help employees stay out of trouble. People can handle some of the tasks they are required to handle and, even if they get sprayed or spilled by something, they can be protected. These can be cleaned or, if there is nothing dangerous about what is on them, can be used again the next day.
