Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of Tyvek?

DuPont discovered Tyvek in 1955 when a researcher noticed a unique polyethylene fluff emerging from an experimental lab process. After refining the technology, DuPont patented the material and officially launched Tyvek in April 1967. Initially, it was developed for protective packaging, particularly for sterile medical instruments, ensuring contamination-free storage and transport.

Over time, Tyvek’s durability, breathability, and resistance to liquids made it a staple in construction (as house wrap), industrial protective clothing, and medical packaging. Today, it remains a widely used material across multiple industries, offering lightweight yet robust protection.

Why is Tyvek so popular?

Tyvek’s popularity stems from its rare combination of protection, comfort, and versatility. Unlike traditional woven or microporous film materials, Tyvek is breathable while still offering an exceptional barrier against particles and low-level liquid hazards. Its lightweight design reduces heat stress and fatigue during long wear times, and its durability resists tearing even in demanding environments. 

These qualities make it a go-to choice for professionals in construction, industrial safety, healthcare, and environmental cleanup.

What personal protection products are made by DuPont?

DuPont offers a wide range of PPE designed to safeguard workers across diverse industries. Their key product lines include:

• DuPont™ Tyvek®: This line offers a range of protective apparel providing a barrier against a wide array of dry particles, aerosols, and light liquid splashes. Common Tyvek products include coveralls and suits (for general maintenance, asbestos and lead abatement, mold remediation, and paint spraying) and lab coats, aprons, and sleeves for protecting against non-hazardous materials.
• DuPont™ Tychem®: Tychem garments are designed for protection against hazardous liquid and gaseous chemicals. The specific level of protection varies by Tychem model, offering resistance to a broad spectrum of industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents.
• DuPont™ Kevlar®: While Kevlar is a fiber renowned for its strength and use in ballistic protection, in the realm of PPE, it is predominantly used to manufacture products offering cut, abrasion, and heat resistance.
• DuPont™ Nomex®: Nomex is a flame-resistant fiber used in protective clothing for professionals who face risks from fire, heat, and electric arc flash. Common Nomex products include coveralls, shirts, pants, and suits for firefighters, industrial workers in the petrochemical and utility sectors, and military personnel.
