Reducing The Risks With DuPont Chemical Protective Clothing
DuPont developed chemical protective clothing to help safeguard men and women from chemical hazards that can and can’t be seen, such as dangerous vapors, liquids, and particles.
Whether the job is performing asbestos abatement, applying insulation, or handling industrial chemicals, DuPont understands the risks. That’s why we’ve developed chemical protective clothing engineered from Tyvek® and Tychem®. They’re made to help reduce worker chemical exposure while performing their jobs. Plus, we rigorously test all our Tyvek® and Tychem® fabrics to eliminate “what ifs.” And we continue to innovate by bringing cutting-edge solutions like SafeSPEC™ 2.0, an online tool that helps safety managers make the best decisions for selecting apparel. It’s just another way we’re helping hazardous work become less hazardous to the worker.
