Manufacturer limitations and warnings

• Warning: Tyvek® should not be used around heat, flames, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments. Garments made of Tyvek® fabrics should have slip-resistant or anti-slip materials on the outer surface of boots, shoe covers, or other garment surfaces in conditions where slipping could occur.
• *Serged and bound seams are degraded by some hazardous liquid chemicals, such as strong acids, and should not be worn when these chemicals are present.
• *Liquid barrier performance varies based on the amount of liquid that may get on the garment, the length of time the liquid is on the garment, applied pressure and certain physical properties of the liquid. Tyvek®400, Tyvek® 400 D, ProShield®, ProShield® 10, ProShield® 60, Tyvek® 400 FC, and ProShield® 70 garments are not appropriate if during use they are getting wet (liquid is dripping or running, or it is wet to the touch) or if spotting is observed on skin or garments worn under the protective garment. Tyvek® 500 and Tyvek® 600 offer improved liquid barrier, but may not be appropriate if spotting is observed on the skin or garments worn under the protective garment. In applications where a higher liquid barrier is needed, consider Tychem® 2000 and Tychem® 4000 garments with taped seams. (6)
• *Tyvek® 400 FC fabric was specially treated to promote ink / coating adhesion. This treatment lowers the bulk liquid holdout level below the typical level for standard Tyvek® fabric. If protection from liquid splash is required, please consider a non-treated Tyvek® style or Tychem® fabric substrate garment.
