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.
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.
How are Tychem® 6000 SFR garments different from Tychem® 6000 garments?
Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide broad chemical protection and secondary flame-resistance for use in environments where chemical splash and flash fire dual hazards exist. They must always be worn over appropriate primary flame-resistant protective clothing in an environment that requires flame protection, along with other personal protective equipment that protects your head, face, hands and feet. In addition, for Tychem® 6000 SFR hooded garments, a primary flame-resistant hood/balaclava should be worn.

Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric offers a similar level of chemical barrier protection to Tychem® 6000 fabric, providing at least 30 minutes of protection for more than 180 chemical challenges including chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals.

On the contrary, Tychem® 6000 garments provide broad chemical protection however they are NOT flame-resistant and should not be used around heat, flames, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments. Tychem® 6000 garments will burn and possibly melt if exposed to a fire or electric arc flash; this may increase burn injuries even when worn over garments made of Nomex® or any other flame-resistant fabric.
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.
Is it possible to wash and re-use TYCHEM® 6000 SFR garments?
TYCHEM® 6000 SFR garments should not be cleaned or laundered; dispose of them after use if contaminated.
What is the difference between primary and secondary flame resistant (FR) garments?
Primary flame-resistant garments are designed to provide stand-alone protection from flame and arc exposures. Common examples are garments made with DuPont™ Nomex® Essential (Nomex® IIIA). Primary flame-resistant garments selected based on the hazard analysis can provide protection from burn injury in the event of an industrial fire or electric arc exposure even when worn alone.

Secondary flame-resistant garments are made with fabrics that are designed to self-extinguish with no or short after-flame once the flame/heat source is removed. Secondary flame-resistant garments are not expected to contribute to additional burn injury if exposure to heat and flame occurs when worn over an appropriate primary flame-resistant garment. Secondary flame-resistant garments like ProShield® 6 SFR, Tyvek® 400 SFR, Tychem® 2000 SFR, and Tychem® 6000 SFR are not expected to provide the wearer any protection from burn injury in the event of a flash fire when worn stand-alone without primary flame-resistant garments underneath.
Where can I find a SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for Tychem® 6000 SFR 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 is the ambient working temperature range for Tychem® 6000 SFR 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 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.
Do Tychem® 6000 SFR garments meet ANSI/ISEA 101 sizing standards?
No. TYCHEM® 6000 SFR coveralls do not meet ANSI/ISEA 101 sizing standards. For specific sizing dimensions on a particular DuPont garment, please view the Product Details tab for that garment.
Why isn’t there a claim made re: NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films for this garment?
NFPA 701 is only appropriate for textile materials used in furnishings such as curtains, draperies or window treatments; or for decorative purposes, awnings, tents, tarps and banners, this standard is not appropriate to asses “FR” performance of clothing.
Can Tychem® 6000 SFR garments be used as primary flame-resistant (FR) garments?
No. Primary flame-resistant (FR) garments, such as those made with DuPont™ Nomex® Essential (Nomex® IIIA) fabric, can be worn alone to provide the necessary level of protection from a flame/thermal threat. Garments made of Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric are not substitutes for primary flame-resistant protective garments. DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide only secondary flame-resistant protection and are engineered to be worn over primary flame resistant / thermal protective garments to provide barrier protection from a broad range of chemicals including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and flammable organic solvents while not contributing to burn injury in the event of a flash fire. They must always be worn over an appropriate primary flame-resistant garment in an environment that needs flame protection, along with other personal protective equipment that protects your face, hands, and feet. In addition, for Tychem® 6000 SFR hooded garments, a primary flame-resistant hood/balaclava should be worn.
Do Tychem® 6000 SFR 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).
I’m not in an environment that needs FR clothing. Can I still wear Tychem® 6000 SFR garments?
Yes, if Tychem® 6000 SFR is suitable for use for the specified chemical hazard, it can be worn. Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide at least 30 minutes of protection for more than 180 chemical challenges including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and flammable organic solvents. However, if flame hazard is not present, Tychem® 6000 garments can be used instead. Tychem® 6000 fabric offers a similar level of chemical barrier protection to Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric.
How are Tychem® 6000 SFR garments different from Tychem® 6000 FR garments?
Tychem® 6000 SFR garments are secondary flame-resistant garments, while Tychem® 6000 FR garments (discontinued effective 1H 2024) were primary flame-resistant garments.

Tychem® 6000 SFR garments provide only secondary flame resistance and must always be worn over appropriate primary flame-resistant protective clothing in an environment that requires flame protection, along with other personal protective equipment that protects your head, face, hands and feet. In addition, for Tychem® 6000 SFR hooded garments, a primary flame-resistant hood/balaclava should be worn.

Tychem® 6000 FR garments (discontinued effective 1H 2024) were primary FR garments, designed to provide stand-alone protection from flame and arc exposures.

Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric offers a similar level of chemical protection to Tychem® 6000 FR fabric, providing at least 30 minutes of protection for more than 180 chemical challenges including chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, and flammable organic solvents.
Are Tychem® 6000 FR garments anti-static or static dissipative?
The substrate fabric used to make Tychem® 6000 FR garments incorporates a permanent anti-static fiber to minimize static build up and reduce nuisance garment cling.

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.

However, in the case of explosive or flammable atmospheres, even if steps are taken to manage static formation and dissipate static charge, the risk of severe injury remains if an uncontrolled or accidental ignition occurs. Do not knowingly enter an environment in which the concentration of flammable gas is within flammable or explosive limits while wearing a Tychem® 6000 FR garment.
What is the shelf life of Tychem® 6000 SFR 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)
In what ways can I dispose of Tychem® 6000 SFR garments ?
If not contaminated, Tychem® 6000 SFR 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 SFR 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.
Will Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric burn?
When exposed to a flame, the Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric will shrink away. In the event that a flash fire occurs, Tychem® 6000 SFR garments will not contribute to additional burn injury if appropriate primary flame-resistant personal protective equipment is worn beneath. When the flame source is removed, the Tychem® 6000 SFR fabric will self-extinguish with no or short after-flame. However, garments made of Tychem® 6000 SFR must not be used alone in areas where protection from fire or electric arc is required. They are designed to be worn over primary FR garments and ensembles.
What are the donning and doffing instructions for Tychem® 6000 SFR coveralls?
Please refer to the Section on Donning and Doffing Non-Encapsulating Garments in the Tychem® User Manual - Non-Encapsulated.
Do Tychem® 6000 SFR 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 secondary flame-resistant (SFR) protective clothing?
Secondary flame-resistant (SFR) protective clothing is made with fabrics that are designed to self-extinguish with no or short after-flame once the flame/heat source is removed. Secondary flame-resistant protective clothing must always be worn over appropriate primary flame-resistant protective clothing in an environment that requires flame protection, such as garments made with DuPont™ Nomex® Essential (Nomex® IIIA) or Nomex® Comfort fabric, along with other personal protective equipment that protects your head, face, hands and feet. Secondary flame-resistant garments are not expected to contribute to additional burn injury if exposure to heat and flame occurs when worn over an appropriate primary flame-resistant (FR) garment. Secondary flame-resistant garments are not expected to provide the wearer any protection from burn injury in the event of a flash fire when worn stand-alone without primary flame-resistant garments underneath.

Secondary flame-resistant protective garments like ProShield® 6 SFR, Tyvek® 400 SFR, Tychem® 2000 SFR, and Tychem® 6000 SFR are designed to provide protection against particulate and/or liquid chemical hazards, while not negatively impacting the burn performance of the primary FR garments worn underneath. When selecting a secondary flame-resistant (SFR) protective garment, it is important to examine both the flame-resistant (FR) requirements and perform a hazard assessment for hazardous and nonhazardous particles, liquids, or chemicals. Visit DuPont™ SafeSPEC™ to learn more about the DuPont SFR garment portfolio and the specified hazards they help protect against.
How should Tychem® 6000 SFR garments be stored?
Store Tychem® 6000 SFR 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 SFR garments in boxes, in bags or on hangers. Never step on protective garments. Never place or store heavy objects on top of protective garments.
