What Are DuPont Tyvek Sleeves
DuPont Tyvek sleeves are protective arm coverings that are durable, lightweight, and breathable. Tear-resistant, the sleeves provide a barrier against particles, liquids, and contaminants.

What Is Tyvek Material
Tyvek is a unique, synthetic material that DuPont introduced in the 1960s. It’s manufactured using a process called flash spinning, which creates a durable, lightweight, non-woven fabric out of high-density, polyethylene (HDPE) fibers. In addition to cleanroom sleeves, Tyvek is also used in building materials, packaging materials, and more.

Are DuPont Tyvek Sleeves Used By Themselves
DuPont Tyvek sleeves are often used for targeted protection of the arms, when full-body coverage isn’t needed. The Tyvek sleeves are an economical option when contamination risks are limited to the forearms. Because the sleeves are so easy to put on and take off, they’re also often used for short tasks and/or as an added layer when transitioning between work areas.
