Specification property (controlled to aim and released within specifications). The customer is responsible for determining that Tyvek® is suitable for the intended application.

NOTES: All properties ar typical values based on roll averages, with samples taken uniformly across the sheet. Customers must conduct their own tests to ensure suitability for the intended application. These properties are representative for uncoated Tyvek® as sold by DuPont. Any downstream operations, such as coatings applied by sterile packaging manufacturers (SPMs), may change these values.

MD = machine direction; CD = cross direction
