Frequently Asked Questions

Explore frequently asked questions to help you choose and use DuPont Personal Protection products with confidence.
Is Tychem® 6000 Tape flame resistant or flame retardant (FR)?
Other than Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR, all Tychem® chemical protective garments and accessories will ignite and continue to burn.

Wearing garments made of Nomex® or any other flame-resistant fabric under Tychem® garments, other than Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR, will not reduce burn injury during a fire. Other than Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR, Tychem® garments will burn and possibly melt when exposed to a fire; this may increase burn injuries even when worn over garments made of Nomex® or any other flame-resistant fabric.

Because Tychem® garments can melt, except for Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR, do not wear Tychem® garments under a garment made of Nomex® or any other flame resistant fabric if the potential for fire or electric arc flash exists.

Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide only secondary flame-resistant protection and are engineered to be worn over your primary flame resistant / thermal protective garments to provide barrier protection from inorganic acids and bases, industrial cleaning chemicals, and particles while not contributing to burn injury in the event of a flash fire.

Do not knowingly enter an environment in which the concentration of flammable gas is within flammable or explosive limits when wearing a Tychem® garment, including when wearing Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR garments. Retreat immediately if you encounter such an environment while wearing any Tychem® garment, including Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR.
What is the shelf life of Tychem® 6000 Tape?
Tychem® Tape may be used for up to 3 years after the date of manufacture as long as all of the following conditions are met:

1. The tape has been stored properly (view storage conditions)
2. The tape has not been damaged, altered or contaminated
3. The tape passes a full visual inspection
4. The tape adhesiveness has been checked. If it is not sticking properly then do not use.
Can adhesive chemical tape be used to seal chemical protective garments?
If properly done, taping of PPE interfaces may reduce bulk material flow, but cannot be relied on to provide a liquid-tight or vapor-tight seal. Additionally, during an emergency situation it may be difficult to carefully apply such tape. Therefore, taping is primarily viewed as a means to hold PPE items in place e.g. to hold a hood over a respirator face piece, a sleeve over a glove, a pant leg over a boot, or to keep a closure flap closed. Taping does not provide reliable liquid or gas barrier performance.
What is the ambient working temperature range for Tychem® 6000 Tape?
Tychem® garments and accessories can be worn in ambient temperatures of -13°F (-25°C) to 190°F (88°C).

In colder environments, Tychem® garments and accessories can become stiff. If cold enough, the fabric may even become brittle. Please be aware that the heat stress of the wearer becomes a greater concern in higher ambient temperatures. At higher temperatures, chemical hazards can become more aggressive. Breakthrough times and permeation rates may change at higher temperatures. The published permeation data per ASTM F739 is performed at ambient temperatures (approximately 72-81° F ; 22-27° C).
Do Tychem® 6000 products contain silicone?
All DuPont Personal Protection products are manufactured under specifications that do not contain silicone, with some exceptions. Tyvek® friction-coated shoe covers or Tyvek® garments with friction-coated shoe covers might contain silicone. This includes Tyvek® styles TY122, TY121, FC450 and FC454. Additionally, Tychem® 6000 AL styles TF630 and TF640T contain a silicone valve diaphragm. End users who are consuming these styles and who have concerns about silicone contamination should conduct their own testing to ensure they are suitable for their application(s).
Do Tychem® 6000 products contain latex?
As of January 2023, all DuPont Personal Protection products are manufactured under specifications that exclude components containing natural rubber latex. Tyvek® 500, Tyvek® 600 and Tyvek® 800 styles made before January 2023 contain natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in some sensitized individuals. Anyone who begins to exhibit an allergic response during the use of DuPont products should immediately cease using these products and should report it to DuPont at +1 (888) 439-2988 so that an investigation can be initiated.
How should Tychem® 6000 Tape be stored?
DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 Tape may be stored between 59°F (15°C) to 77°F (25°C) in the dark (cardboard box) with no UV light exposure. Product shall be transported and stored in its original packaging.
