DuPont Type 5/6 Protective Coverall: Reliable Protection for Industrial Safety

Introduction

In hazardous work environments, choosing the right protective clothing can make all the difference. The DuPont Type 5/6 protective coverall is one of the most trusted solutions for workers exposed to dry particles, limited liquid splashes, and industrial contaminants. Designed for both safety and comfort, this protective suit offers excellent barrier performance while maintaining breathability — ideal for professionals in chemical handling, industrial cleaning, and manufacturing.

Material Composition

DuPont Type 5/6 coveralls are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using spunbonded olefin technology, similar to DuPont’s renowned Tyvek® fabric.
This nonwoven material is:

• Lightweight and durable, ensuring freedom of movement and long-lasting wear.

• Breathable, allowing air and moisture vapor to pass through while blocking hazardous particles.

• Lint-free and antistatic, reducing contamination risk in controlled environments.

Unlike traditional laminated or microporous films, Tyvek®-like fabric provides an ideal balance between protection and comfort, making it a preferred choice across industries that require dependable PPE.

Key Advantages

1. Certified Protection (Type 5/6 Standard)
   The suit meets EN ISO 13982-1 (Type 5) for dry particle protection and EN 13034 (Type 6) for limited liquid splash resistance. It effectively blocks fine dust, fibers, and chemical mist.

2. Comfort and Breathability
   Workers can perform long-hour tasks without discomfort thanks to its breathable structure that prevents overheating.

3. Strong Yet Flexible
   The fabric resists tearing and abrasion while allowing flexibility — perfect for physical work or repetitive motion.

4. Enhanced Sealing and Design
   Elastic cuffs, ankles, and hoods ensure full coverage, while the front zipper with storm flap provides extra protection against contaminants.

5. Antistatic and Contamination Control
   Especially important for environments where electrostatic discharge or cleanliness control is crucial, such as cleanrooms or electronic manufacturing.
