Features
This disposable hazmat suit from DuPont is our most popular for professionals and home improvement folks. Suitable for a range of jobs including paint spraying, mold treatment and lead or asbestos abatement work, these protective suits are able to breathe so they don't get too hot, but they stop dangerous particles down to 1 micron in size.
Primary Use:
The Tyvek TY122S coverall with attached hood and booties provides protection from many hazardous materials and skin irritants such as fiberglass insulation and dust.
These suits are often employed by people removing lead pipes, asbestos or lead paint from structures. Painters use the DuPont hazmat coveralls when spraying oil- or epoxy-based paints and they are used for a whole range of general clean up and maintenance work.
Tyvek can only handle a little "light liquid splash" so it is generally better at protecting against dry substances.
If you need protection against liquid, take a look at the Tychem series also from DuPont.
