Frequently Asked Questions

Explore frequently asked questions to help you choose and use DuPont Personal Protection products with confidence.
Permeation The concentration of my hazard is LOWER than what is listed in the 'Search Hazards' box. What should I do?
If the temperature of your hazard is LOWER than the hazard listed in the hazard search box, go ahead and select the higher temperature hazard as long as the physical phase (solid, liquid or gas/vapor) is the same. Because chemical hazards become more aggressive with increasing temperatures, selecting a higher temperature chemical hazard will lead to a more conservative result.
In what ways can I manage or prevent heat stress?
Chemical protective clothing can interfere with the natural regulation of body temperature. This can lead to a rise in core body temperature and heat stress. Implementing a conservative work/rest schedule or using a cooling system may be effective in reducing heat stress. (Note: Do not wear cooling vests in potentially flammable or explosive environments.) .)

Be aware of the symptoms and treatment of heat stress. If you or your co-workers have symptoms of heat stress such as nausea, dizziness, high heart rates, or excessive heat build-up, leave the work area immediately and remove the ensemble as quickly as possible after decontamination and seek professional care.

The maximum length of time the chemical protective clothing can be worn depends on variables such as the air supply, ambient conditions, climate inside the ensemble, physical and psychological conditions of the wearer, work rate and work load. The TLV® pocket guide from the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH, Cincinnati) provides corrected heat stress limits for some garments. Similar information is available on the federal OSHA web site (www.OSHA.gov). The WBGT correction factor for chemical protective garments is at least 10°C or higher for chemical garments made of impervious films (such as Tychem® garments) and covering the entire body (hooded coverall or encapsulating designs). For Tyvek® coveralls, the WBGT correction factor is 2°C with a hood and 1°C without a hood.
How should Tychem® 6000 garments be stored?
Store Tychem® 6000 garments in a cool, dark, dry location free of dirt and insects. Sunlight, ozone, high temperatures (>120° F ; 49° C), vehicle exhaust fumes, compression under heavy weights and sharp edges or projections are some conditions known to degrade the materials in these garments.

Store Tychem® 6000 garments in boxes, in bags or on hangers. Never step on protective garments. Never place or store heavy objects on top of protective garments.
In what ways can I dispose of Tychem® 6000 garments ?
If not contaminated, Tychem® 6000 garments may be landfilled or incinerated in accordance with local regulations. Uncontaminated chemical protective garments may be incinerated in a facility that is capable of handling mixtures containing plastics. Likewise, an uncontaminated chemical protective garment may be buried in a facility that accepts plastic materials. Tychem® 6000 garments may contain several different materials; they are not suitable for recycling.

Contaminated garments that cannot be handled safely without protective equipment must be disposed of with other hazardous wastes, either through incineration or landfill per local regulations.

Before discarding, cut off a sleeve or a leg so the garments cannot be worn again as protective clothing.
Where can I find a SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for Tychem® 6000 garments?
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are written in accordance with applicable federal regulations, 29 CFR 1910.1200, to communicate health and safety data on usage and handling of hazardous chemicals. Under this regulation, DuPont™ Tyvek®, ProShield®, and Tychem® materials and garments are defined as articles, not chemicals, and the SDS and labeling requirements in that standard do not apply.
What determines if the garment is contaminated ?
The decision on whether or not a garment has been contaminated is made by local managers responsible for PPE based on an analysis of the incident in which the garment was used. This analysis may include exposure time, chemicals involved, level of exposure, proximity to the actual release, tasks performed and environmental monitoring in the area in which the garment was worn. Garments that are damaged, altered or show signs of contamination, such as discoloration, odor, stiffening or cracks, should not be used.
Can I use the TF 611T garment without outer gloves?
Tychem® 6000 TF 611T coverall has attached inner gloves. They should be used with appropriate outer gloves for mechanical properties and abrasion resistance.
Permeation The concentration of my hazard is HIGHER than what is listed in the 'Search Hazards' box. What should I do?
If the concentration of your hazard is HIGHER than the hazard concentration listed in the hazard search box, you can NOT use the data for the lower concentration hazard. This data will not give you an accurate assessment of suitable garments. Please Contact Us for assistance.
Are fabric garments anti-static or static dissipative?
The substrate used to make Tychem® 6000 garments is treated with a topical antistatic agent on the inside surface only to help minimize static build up and reduce nuisance garment cling. The garment has attached dissipative socks that permit grounding of the wearer from inside through conductive shoes and flooring without additional wiring. Compliant with EN 1149-5.

In situations where static dissipation level is a critical performance property, end-users should evaluate the performance of their entire ensemble as worn including outer garments, inner garments, footwear and other PPE. In order for any garment system to be static dissipative, it must be able to drain a charge buildup through proper grounding devices, such as, but not limited to, workstation grounding clips or static-dissipative floors.

Under certain conditions, such as cold and dry weather, it is possible that garments might build and discharge static electricity. Discharges are not normally dangerous except in situations where the generation of an electrical spark could ignite a flammable atmosphere or startle the wearer. When operating around flammable chemicals, take steps to eliminate potential static discharges. In these situations, suggested steps include, but not limited to, water spray, the use of an overcover, raising humidity level of the work area, use of a commercial, anti-static application coating, grounding straps on equipment and personnel, inherently static-dissipating under- and over-garments, and testing of the worker's static dissipation before entry into the classified area.
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.
What is the shelf life of Tychem® 6000 garments?
Tychem® garments may be used for 5 years from the date of manufacture as long as all of the following conditions are met:

  1. The garment has been stored properly (view storage conditions)
  2. The garment has not been damaged, altered or contaminated
  3. The garment passes a full visual inspection (view garment inspection instructions)
What is the ambient working temperature range for Tychem® 6000 garments?
Tychem® garments can be worn in ambient temperatures of -13°F (-25°C) to 165°F (74°C).
In colder environments, Tychem® garments 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).

Caution: Tychem® fabrics offer little or no thermal insulation to protect the wearer's skin from prolonged exposure to hot or cold.
What size of outer gloves can I use with TF 611T garment?
With Tychem® 6000 TF 611T coverall, the same size outer glove should be used as the inner glove of the garment.
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 garments meet ANSI/ISEA 101 sizing standards?
Yes. DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 coveralls either meet or exceed ANSI/ISEA 101 sizing standards. For specific sizing dimensions on a particular DuPont garment, please view the Product Details tab for that garment.
Is it possible to wash and re-use Tychem® 6000 garments?
DuPont does not recommend washing contaminated Tychem® 6000 garments for re-use. These garments are designed for limited-use. They can be worn until damaged, altered or contaminated. However, if the garments have not been contaminated, they can be cleaned for hygienic purposes and re-used. Please refer to the section on Decontamination and Cleaning in the Tychem® User Manual - Encapsulated for more information.
Are Tychem® 6000 garments flame resistant or flame retardant (FR)?
Other than Tychem® 2000 SFR and Tychem® 6000 SFR, all Tychem® chemical protective garments will ignite and continue to burn.

Wearing primary flame resistant garments (i.e. made using aramids) 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 primary flame resistant garments.

Because Tychem® garments can melt, do not wear Tychem® garments under a primary flame resistant garments 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 a 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 barrier performance of the TF 611T garment elastomeric face seal material?
The wearer must ensure suitable challenge chemical to garment compatibility before use. It is the wearer?s responsibility to verify that appropriate garment has been selected and used based on their hazard assessment.

The elastomeric hood seal helps to ensure a tight fit of the hood around a full-face mask. Exposure to certain very fine particles, intensive liquid sprays and splashes of hazardous substances may require a sealing of higher barrier properties than those offer by the elastomeric seal of Tychem® 6000, model TF 611T. The wearer shall verify that the hood elastomeric material seals appropriately with the respirator face piece model being used.
