DuPont’s latest innovation in protective workwear, the Tyvek 400 SFR, combines the trusted durability of Tyvek with advanced secondary flame resistance capabilities. This groundbreaking protective coverall sets new standards in workplace safety for industries requiring both particle protection and flame resistance.
Understanding Secondary Flame-Resistant Protection
Secondary flame-resistant (SFR) garments serve a distinct purpose in industrial safety. Unlike primary FR clothing, these garments are specifically designed to be worn over primary flame-resistant protective wear. The key distinction lies in their complementary role – they must not compromise the burn injury protection provided by the primary FR garment underneath.
