Enhancing Safety with DuPont? Tychem? 2000 SFR

In sectors where daily exposure to hazardous materials is a constant concern, ensuring the safety of workers takes precedence. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) becomes a pivotal player in mitigating potential risks and protecting the well-being of individuals. In PPE, DuPont holds a distinguished position, recognized for its innovative and reliable solutions, with the Tychem? 2000 SFR serving as a standout example.

The Versatile Tychem? 2000 SFR:

Tychem? 2000 SFR protective coveralls offer chemical and secondary flame protection in a lightweight garment. Designed to be worn over primary flame-resistant garments, Tychem? 2000 SFR garments, in the event of a flash fire, remain non-ignitable and do not contribute to additional burn injuries when worn over appropriate flame-resistant personal protective equipment, such as DuPont? Nomex?.

Representing a new generation in secondary flame-resistant chemical garment technology, Tychem? 2000 SFR garments address the dual hazard needs of a protective chemical suit with secondary flame resistance. In contrast to traditional secondary flame-resistant clothing, the fabric in Tychem? 2000 SFR does not char; instead, it shrinks away from flames without burning. This unique combination of performance allows Tychem? 2000 SFR garments to be worn over primary flame-resistant (FR) garments like Nomex? when facing chemical splash and flash fire hazards.

Outperforming the Competition: Tychem? 2000 SFR in Flame Engulfment Testing

Performance is a central focus, as demonstrated through extensive ASTM F1930 testing during development. In flame engulfment scenarios, Tychem? 2000 SFR surpasses competing garments, showcasing significantly lower predicted body burn levels and afterflame. In ASTM F1930 testing for 4 seconds of flame exposure, Tychem? 2000 SFR, when worn over Nomex? IIIA coverall 6oz/yd2, exhibits a 9.3% body burn, contrasting sharply with Lakeland Pyrolon? at 28.1%.

Comfort and Mobility: Despite its robust protective features, Tychem? 2000 SFR is designed with wearer comfort in mind. The lightweight and flexible fabric allows for ease of movement, ensuring that workers can perform their tasks without hindrance.

Durability: PPE needs to withstand the rigors of the workplace, and Tychem? 2000 SFR does just that. It is durable, puncture, and tear-resistant, ensuring a longer lifespan and providing reliable protection over extended periods.

Sealed Seams for added protection: The coverall features sealed seams to enhance its protective capabilities, reducing the penetration of liquid chemicals through the stitched areas and maintaining the garment's integrity.
