Tyvek Suits Protect The Wearer Sometimes From Themselves

By Krystal Branch


One of the items or garments that has saved more workers from dangerous elements in the work place is the disposable protective suits. These are generically called Tyvek Suits, however these items, manufactured by Dupont, are the only true standard to which every other garment is compared. The number of industries who use this single layer of high density polyethylene fabric to protect their employees is a very long list.

Food manufacturing plants will use these suits to protect the product from the wearer as does electronic and pharmaceutical clean room industries. The very nature of the garments work in both directions as the fabric works to prevent passage of substances from inside or out to pass through them. This makes them very flexible as a working uniform and, also, as a way of identifying those working in a specific area or discipline.

Many of these suits come in various colors. They have different appearances as some of them will have hoods and booties attached. Most of them will have elastic wrist bands and others will be belted or buttoned. If the hood is not attached, the neck line will be collared. When hoods and booties are attached, this is the best protective suit that can be had, especially if you wear goggles as the last touch.

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.

Crime scene clean up companies use these for day to day activities. The nature of this contamination can be deadly and suits of this nature are a perfect fit. The use of a protective garment for foreclosure clean up is also a good idea. The cleaning of windows, especially in the higher floors of buildings use the protection these suits offer of water and cold air blowing.

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.

Having a case of Tyvek Suits always on hand is a safe, inexpensive way of protecting all who work for you. They do not cost as much as you may think and many of them are washable. Most find it necessary to simply hang them to dry and reuse them the next day.
