Tychem(R) ThermoPro was developed for situations requiring flash fire escape protection and chemical exposure applications where serged and bound seam products are appropriate. Tychem® ThermoPro garments can be used in applications similar to those in which DuPont™ Tychem® QC, Tychem® CPF1, Tychem® CPF2 and Tychem® SL bound and serged seam products are worn. While these garments have been evaluated for thermal protection under simulated flash fire situations, there is the potential that flash fire conditions may exceed the performance capability of these garments. Tychem® ThermoPro garments are only available as hooded coveralls. The interface between the Tychem® ThermoPro hood and respirator facepieces is not liquid-tight. Tychem®ThermoPro garments are not offered with attached gloves, so the glove-sleeve interface is also not liquid tight.   Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro garments are designed for short-term, flash fire escape protection and are certified as compliant with NFPA 2112 guidelines Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel against Flash Fires (2001 Edition). These garments will not melt or drip when exposed to heat or flame. They provide permanent thermal protection that won't wash out or wear away.  Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro is an innovative new fabric from DuPont that utilizes proprietary Tychem® chemical barrier technology combined with NOMEX® thermal protective fabric technology.   Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro utilizes the same proprietary barrier technology as Tychem® F.   Go to top

No. Tychem® ThermoPro garments do not provide the same level of thermal protection as structural firefighting (turnout) gear. Tychem® ThermoPro was developed for liquid splash flash fire escape protection during hazardous materials operations. The garment is not intended for fire fighting use.  Go to top

The Tychem® ThermoPro fabric provides permeation protection against a range of toxic industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents and provides flash fire escape protection. Tychem® ThermoPro fabric is not engineered to transport moisture vapor and liquid away from the body.  Go to top

The Safety Equipment Institute has certified that Tychem® ThermoPro is compliant with the requirements of NFPA 2112 . NFPA 2112 is the Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel against Flash Fires (2001 Edition).  Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro garments will be initially offered in a high contrast orange. We are evaluating a low visibility gray color for situations where discretion is preferred.  Go to top

The initial offering will be two styles of hooded coveralls that will have respirator fit functionality. We are considering a future encapsulated offering.  Go to top

The permeation barrier performance of Tychem® ThermoPro is comparable to that provided by Tychem® F. Tychem® ThermoPro provides at least one hour barrier to 20 of the 21 standard chemicals found in ASTM F 1001 and to chemical warfare vesicant and nerve agents of common concern. The full list of permeation data for Tychem® ThermoPro is provided in the Tychem® ThermoPro Permeation Guide.  Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro garments are intended for multiple wears until damaged or contaminated. The garment provides adequate abrasion, puncture and tear resistance for a limited use garment.  Go to top

Tychem® ThermoPro fabric is 10% lighter than Tychem® TK fabric.  Go to top

To protect the hands from heat and flame, wear outer gloves suitable for thermal protection, such as those compliant with NFPA 1971 or NFPA 1951. For additional chemical protection, an intermediate chemical barrier glove, such as an Ansell Barrier® or North Silver Shield worn over an inner, cotton or knit KEVLAR® glove may be considered.  Go to top
