Outdoor exposure? Bring it on!
 Corona treatment on both sides of DuPont™ Tyvek® styles with a “D” suffix and style 1079 increases surface wettability, as measured by its improved surface tension (40-42 dynes/cm2). There’s no need for protective coating on your tags, labels or whatever … as long as you print them on DuPont™ Tyvek® substrate.
We say that with confidence because a standardized accelerated aging test (SAE J1960, to be precise) proves it. DuPont™ Tyvek® withstands outdoor exposure for as long as a year!
Below are recommended outdoor exposure times for different styles of Tyvek®:
3-6 months exposure
1025D, 1056D, 1058D, 8740D, 4158DL
1 year of exposure
1073D, 1079, 1085D, 4173DL, 4182DL
Improved ink and coating adhesion
This enhances the effectiveness of any ink, adhesive or other coating and makes Tyvek® easy to use on flexo, letterpress, offset or some digital presses.
What’s more, the Corona treatment on Tyvek® lasts more than 20 years, so you can store a roll or box of Tyvek® without having to re-treat it, as you now have to do for films and other synthetic substrates.
DuPont™ Tyvek® is FDA-approved for food contact and sterile applications.
 If you’re printing tags or labels for food contact or sterile applications, we’ve got just what you need. Tyvek® 1059B can be used for food contact or sterile applications because it's FDA-approved. And you can be sure that your critical data will remain clear and readable under the most demanding conditions—because it's Tyvek®.
