SPECIAL WARNINGS

• *Serged and bound seams are degraded by some hazardous liquid chemicals, such as strong acids, and should not be worn when these chemicals are present.
• *Liquid barrier performance varies based on the amount of liquid that may get on the garment, the length of time the liquid is on the garment, applied pressure and certain physical properties of the liquid. Tyvek®400, Tyvek® 400 D, ProShield®, ProShield® 10, ProShield® 60, Tyvek® 400 FC, and ProShield® 70 garments are not appropriate if during use they are getting wet (liquid is dripping or running, or it is wet to the touch) or if spotting is observed on skin or garments worn under the protective garment. Tyvek® 500 and Tyvek® 600 offer improved liquid barrier, but may not be appropriate if spotting is observed on the skin or garments worn under the protective garment. In applications where a higher liquid barrier is needed, consider Tychem® 2000 and Tychem® 4000 garments with taped seams. (6)
• Tyvek® 600 and Tyvek® 500 fabric have different fabric physical properties and improved chemical resistance properties than standard Tyvek® 400 garments.
• **Garments made using Tyvek® 400, Tyvek® 500, Tyvek® 600 and Tyvek® 800 fabrics will burn and possibly melt. None of these garments should be worn near heat, open flames, sparks or any other possible ignition source nor should they be worn in potentially explosive or flammable environments. If these garments do burn or melt while being worn, it may increase the severity of burn injuries even when worn over garments which are flame resistant, including, but not limited to, Nomex® IIIA or Nomex® Comfort garments.

• 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.
