The manufacturer names these applications: One garment for many applications: General maintenance/operations; Microcrystalline silica; Lead abatement; Environmental cleanup; Agriculture; Asbestos abatement; Food processing; Mold remediation; Spray painting; Crime scene investigation; Wind turbine manufacturing; Well suited for workers who are involved in a variety of strenuous activities that can lead to heat stress. Seams: Seam types on the SafeSPEC pages for this family: Bound, Serged; 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 thr. Shelf life per the manufacturer: What is the shelf life of TYVEK® 400 garments? DuPont suggests that Tyvek® garments be used within 5 years of receipt, provided they are properly stored and pass a full visual inspection. High tempera.
In the manufacturer's words: "Tyvek® 400 garments are composed of flash spun high density polyethylene which creates a unique, nonwoven material available only from DuPont. Tyvek® 400 provides an ideal balance of protection, durability and comfort of any limited use fabric technology. Tyvek® 400 fabric offers an inherent barrier against particles (down to 1.0 micron in size). Protection is built into the fabric itself; there are no films or laminates to abrade or wear away. Tyvek® 400 fabric's durability advantage over mic"

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.
- Seams and closures have less barrier than fabric.
- 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.
- *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.
- Tyvek® 600 and Tyvek® 500 fabric have different fabric physical properties and improved chemical resistance properties than standard Tyvek® 400 garments.
- **Garments made using Tyvek® 400, Tyvek® 500, Tyvek® 600 and Tyvek® 800 fabrics will burn and possibly melt. None of these garments should be worn near heat, open flames, sparks or any other possible ignition source nor should they be worn in potentially explosive or flammable environments. If these garments do burn or melt while being worn, it may increase the severity of burn injuries even when worn over garments which are flame resistant, including, but not limited to, Nomex® IIIA or Nomex® Comfort garments.
