What DuPont Tychem 5000 is

DuPont Tychem 5000 is The garment shall be constructed of DuPont™ Tychem® 5000 -- a multi-layer composite barrier film laminated to a durable 2.0 oz/yd; Tychem® 5000 is tan for discretionary purposes and features a low-visibility patch. The manufacturer names these applications: Uses include chemical and petrochemical handling, hazardous materials/waste cleanup, industrial hazmat teams, utilities and domestic preparedness. Seams: Seam types on the SafeSPEC pages for this family: Taped; Serged or sewn*: A seam produced when three threads are interlocked around the raw edges of two pieces of material for a strong, stress-resistant seam. For potential misting exposure of non-hazardous liquids or particle penetration through the. Shelf life per the manufacturer: What is the shelf life of Tychem® 5000 garments? Tychem® garments may be used for 5 years from the date of manufacture as long as all of the following conditions are met: The garment has been stored p.

In the manufacturer's words: "Tychem® 5000 fabric is composed of a multi-layer film barrier laminated to a durable 2.0 oz/yd"

DuPont Tychem 5000: 21 Industrial chemicals ASTM F1001 — Permeation data (catalog p.10), column for Tychem® 5000

Index of codes: > = greater than, imm. = immediate (<10 minutes), nt = not tested, L = liquid, G = gas. Normalized Breakthrough Time (NBT) shown in minutes. *Serged and/or bound seams are degraded by some hazardous liquid chemicals, such as strong acids, and should not be worn when these chemicals are present. Permeation testing on chemicals is in accordance with ASTM F739, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Permeation by Liquids or Gases Under Conditions of Continuous Contact. All tests are conducted at room temperature unless otherwise noted. Reported results are Normalized Breakthrough Times defined by ASTM F739 as the time (in minutes) when the permeation rate reaches 0.1 µg/cm2/min. Note: Numbers reported are averages of samples tested. Sample results vary. All DuPont permeation testing is performed by a third party.
