The Properties Of Tyvek Coveralls

By Minnie Whitley


When you wake up every morning, you wake up everyday to a world that has a lot of demands. Basically, from the very moment you get up, you already start to work. But there are days that call for heavy cleaning or a project which will require you to put on a protective garment in order to protect yourself from being dirtied by dust and all other elements that will cling to you.

In most cases, when people are up for general cleaning or some projects that would cause the clothes to get soiled like painting, or anything else, they tend to wear clothes which are no longer used. But this cannot be the case for individuals whose job consistently deals with elements that could soil the clothes or harm the skin. With this, wearing Tyvek Coveralls is the solution.

A coverall is actually a suit worn to protect the clothing that is worn underneath. It is basically a one piece garment which is fitted loosely on your body to enable free movement during work. However, although they are loosely fitted, they cannot be very loose since they might court danger. In choosing this garment, it should see to it that you are comfortable enough for you to move around.

This garment is called a coverall since it covers the whole body from head to foot. Basically, it looks like a jumper but with long sleeves enough to cover the wrists and long pants enough to cover the ankles. Sometimes, it can come with a hood. Basically, this garment is designed to withstand the sternness of the working environment.

There are actually several coverall types and different materials used for it, and one of them is Tyvek. It is actually a brand that is made from high density polyetheline fiber. It even is a registered trademark in DuPont and is a very strong material. But given that, it can be cut as easily as a paper but definitely cannot be torn easily by the hands.

Bearing a plastic like property it is also resistant from liquid that is why even you you get splashed with water or any liquid substances it will not penetrate to your clothing. An example of this is the raincoat. However, water vapor can penetrate through it. Also, it is a very light material so that even if you have it on, you do not feel its weight.

Not just that, it is also chemical resistant which makes it an ideal suit for occupations dealing with chemical elements. With this, accidents in the work place like skin corrosion due to harsh chemical compounds would be avoided. Aside from that, it has an impenetrability property against electromagnetic radiations and many other kinds of it.

This material is also resistant to fire with its property range within the class A flammability rating. This is actually the garment worn by firefighters since it does not catch fire and is said to be incombustible. Construction workers also wear this material as a coverall but some of them wear a different material which is called boilersuit.

Yet still another thing that is good with Tyvek is that it is very cost efficient due to its dimensional stability. With this, whatever job it is that you do, it does not wear out easily so you can save. Actually this garment is very relevant to the occupation of mechanics, pilots, firefighters, painters, fishermen, train engineers, and assembly line workers.
