4o Trimestre 16 Tychem® ThermoPro single layer triple protection Protección Laboral 89 DuPont TM Tychem® ThermoPro is a new triple protection mono-layer garment from DuPont Protection Technology. It is designed to protect industrial workers facing multiple hazards, such as intheoilandgasindustry,aswellas re ghtersand those professionals involved in emergency brigades, in chemical incidents and at risk of ashover.Tychem® ThermoPro combines the chemical protection and fabric reliability of DuPontTM Tychem® with the Nomex® heat protection and ames ber in a single garment. It offers 360 degrees of protection thanks to its combination of Tychem® and Nomex® fabric technology: the Tychem® component forms a chemical barrier, allowing Tychem® ThermoPro to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals for at least 8 hours. Flame-resistant Nomex® bers, which are trusted by re ghters worldwide, are the other component of Tychem® ThermoPro. Nomex brings the extra seconds that are crucial in escaping the sudden ashes. It also gives Tychem® ThermoPro a proven protection against electric arc hazards. “To date, workers facing multiple hazards may have had to choose between chemical protection and ame protection, or wearing a complicated and heavy combination of garments”, explains Chloe Caux-Wetherell, responsible for new products at DuPont Protection Technologies. “While offering protection against jet chemicals, ares and electric arc, the new Tychem® ThermoPro consists of a single layer that allows a much greater range of user’s movement comfort”. Tychem® ThermoPro has been tested to withstand the permeability of more than 240 chemicals, of which 175 have not passed beyond 480 minutes. This test has also revealed that Tychem® ThermoPro offers a barrier of at least 8 hours to 19 of the 21 chemicals found in ASTM F1001. The increased thermal protection offered by DuPont TM Tychem® ThermoPro garments has been clearly demonstrated in re exposure simulations using Dummies DuPontTM Thermo-Man® with thermal sensors. Thermo-Man is a full-size mannequin with 122 thermal sensors, used to predict the level, degree and location of possible burns of clothing that have been exposed to simulated re. Tests performed on the Thermo-Man comply with ASTM F1930. The Tychem® ThermoPro garment has proven that it does not continue to burn after exposure to the ames, maintaining a protective barrier that prevents burns. Tyvek® 500 HV limited use overall DuPont has launched the new overall DuPont Tyvek 500 HV, a garment that ensures the highest level in high visibility. Designed for limited use, 500 HV Tyvek® garments provide an extraordinary safety by avoiding washing, that compromise color quality. Tyvek® 500 HV protective overalls not only offer maximum levels of visibility, but they also combine in a single garment chemical, biological and antistatic protection. In addition, due to be free of washing, the garment avoids having to carry out constant checks of their effect on the color. When the overall is dirty or contaminated, is discarded, ensuring high quality standards throughout its lifetime. Optimal protection for industrial jobs, Tyvek® 500 HV overalls meet the highest level of high visibility (EN 20471 - Class 3/3) standard which, together with its chemical, biological and antistatic protection, is the best safety option for industrial work in hazardous environments, night work or activities performed under adverse weather conditions. It is ideal solution for working environments such as railways, highways, subways, ports and airports, mines or land lls, etc. Ergonomic design and high visibility day and night As in all Tyvek® garments, ergonomic t compatible with the shape and movements of the user has been essential in the development of new Tyvek® 500 HV. The sleeves and crotch design, as well as the elasticized ankles and waist to t the user’s movements, add to the exibility and lightness of the fabric itself. The design of this new garment is made from bright orange color uorescent fabric ensuring perfect day visibility, with brighter colours than normal, which transform into visible light the lighting energy (especially UV) that generally is absorbed or lost. At the same time,Tyvek®500 HV protective overalls have on the uorescent fabric silver gray re ective strips so that maximum visibility in night environments is guaranteed, whenever they are exposed to a light source. A combination between the performance of Tyvek® with the highest visibility that makes the new DuPont Tyvek 500 HV overall the main innovation in the eld of disposable protective garments. Tyvek® 500 HV is being already marketed to end users through of cial distributors throughout Europe.
