Tyvek A4 55gm - Pack of 50 Sheets Tyvek Paper

Product Information

A: Tyvek® is formed from continuous, fine filaments of HDPE that are randomly distributed and non-directional. Tyvek® is available in two structures: “hard” (paper-like) and “soft” (fabric-like). Styles beginning with a 10 are “hard” and styles beginning with 14 or 16 are soft. Tyvek® is naturally white—the GE brightness of Tyvek® is 94.1 with no fillers or brightening agents. A: Tyvek® should not be considered as flame retardant and its flammability is like most synthetic fibers. Tyvek® type 10 has been tested according to ASTM E84-89a with a class A rating. Type 14 Tyvek® has been tested according to 16 CFR 1610 with a class 1 rating. The melting point of Tyvek® is 135°C and the ignition point of high density polyethylene is approximately 400°C. Specific flame-retardant requirements can be met by applying a special coating to Tyvek®. Tyvek can also be heat sealed using a polyester welding machine. Further information on heat sealing and gluing Tyvek is available here. What should I be using Tyvek for?

Tyvek® Housewrap Breather Membrane 1.4m x 100m

Soft structure Type 14 is soft, fabric-like and drapeable. Sewing, gluing and, to a limited extent, ultrasonic seaming and heat sealing, may be used in fabricating these styles. Type 14 styles are used where barrier, durability and breathability are required. They offer excellent barrier against particulate matter and can provide an excellent bacterial barrier. The unique low-linting properties, combined with the barrier properties, make Type 14 an excellent material for cleanroom garments and pharmaceutical manufacturing garments.Both the rough and the smooth side of the Tyvek® sheets are coated with an antistatic agent for outstanding adhesion of inks and glues: although the two sides are printable, full-coverage printing is recommended on the smooth area only.

Tyvek® Supro/Supro Plus - DuPont

A: DuPont™ Tyvek® is made from 100% high-density polyethylene (HDPE). For this reason, pure Tyvek® can be recycled as HDPE. If you require higher resistance to water penetration, 1442R is the grade you need. Tyvek 1442R has a hydrostatic head of 850mm, it’s not quite good enough to make a tent out of (tent material is usually rated 1000mm or above) but will resist a shower! Aside from those factors the two are very similar. Both are 145micron, 1442R 1623E is 41.5gsm 1442R 43gsm. A: Styles ending in D or R are antistatic- and corona- treated to improve the processing and printability of Tyvek®.

Tyvek® 1073D (also known as 75gsm) is a durable and yet light, flexible synthetic material made 100% from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), offering a high dimensional stability and exceptional opacity. Unlike paper, Tyvek® won’t age or become brittle. It is acid-free, pH neutral, tear resistant and water resistant. Painted Tyvek fabric 9"wide x 12"long unique crafting paper lightweight flexible and sewable fabric like A: Tyvek® is very flexible and can be folded over and over without damage. Maps and book lamps make good use of this feature. Tyvek® also has a memory effect, like paper. A: Tyvek® is equally strong wet or dry under ordinary conditions and ambient temperature (73.4°F [23°C]). Upon initial exposure, water will not penetrate Tyvek®. With time, or increased water pressure, drops of water will go through Tyvek®. It is suggested that customers should test the performance of Tyvek® for their specific application.
