DuPont™ Tyvek® magnified 200x
DuPont™ Tyvek® brand protective material is a miracle of science
from DuPont. It is a family of tough durable sheet
products of high-density polyethylene fibers. The sheet
is formed first by spinning continuous strands of very
fine interconnected fibers, and then bonding them
together with heat and pressure.
Tyvek® is white, non-toxic, chemically inert and contains
no binders. The non-woven sheet, after bonding,
combines a good printing or coating surface, high
opacity and toughness to a degree unique among sheet
products of similar weight and price.
Tyvek® is produced in two different types, namely 10 and
14. The fibers in Type 10 Style are bonded to
form a tough, dense, opaque sheet. The dense packing
of the fine, interconnected fibers produces a smooth
surface, high opacity and whiteness. The large number
of bonds per unit area results in a stable and abrasion
resistant surface with a stiffness similar to paper. Fiber
bonding of Type 14 is restricted to discrete
points in the non-woven sheet, producing a high
degree of fiber mobility, and giving the non-woven a
fabric-like drape.
