Protective single-layer suit

Thursday, 11 May, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.personalprotection.ap.dupont.com/

DuPont have created a single-layer suit that helps protect against flash fires and chemicals - Tychem ThermoPro.

Every Tychem ThermoPro garment is certified to meet NFPA 1992 Standard on Liquid Splash-Protective Ensembles and Clothing for Hazardous Materials Emergencies. Because time matters most, Tychem ThermoPro is tested to provide at least one-hour breakthrough protection against 20 of the 21 ASTM F1001 chemicals.

NOMEX is engineered into each Tychem ThermoPro garment. As a result, it doesn't melt or drip when exposed to heat or flame, increasing escape time from flash fire conditions.

Tychem ThermoPro has been certified to meet NFPA 2112, Standard on Flame Resistant Garment for Protection of Industrial Personnel against Flash Fire. And although Tychem ThermoPro is constructed for heavy use, it's also lightweight and easy to wear.

To purchase Tychem ThermoPro garments or for more information, please visit DuPont at the "Safety in Action" Exhibition (Stand J36).
