DuPont has launched DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 SFR - a lightweight hooded garment designed to help protect people working in challenging environments against multiple chemical and flash-fire hazards. Especially beneficial in environments where combined chemical and flash-fire hazards are a serious concern, Tychem® 6000 SFR garments may be suitable for applications and industries that require multi-hazard protection including refineries, petrochemical plants, laboratories, maintenance operations, and fire departments. *See user considerations below.
Tychem® 6000 SFR is designed to provide at least 30 minutes of protection from more than 250 chemical challenges, such as toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, and flammable organic solvents. The coverall also helps ensure secondary flame resistance when worn over primary flame-resistant (FR) garments like those made with DuPont™ Nomex®. In a flash-fire, the Tychem® 6000 SFR garment will not cause additional burn-related injury if such appropriate primary FR personal protective equipment is worn beneath.
