What is Tyvek®?

Tyvek® is a 100% synthetic material made from high-density spun-bound polyethylene fibers. Lightweight, durable, and breathable, yet resistant to water, abrasion, bacterial penetration, and aging, Tyvek® is an amazing material used to improve a variety of applications across multiple industries.

Water-Repellent

When the fibers in Tyvek® are spun and bonded under high heat and pressure, Tyvek® acts as a thermoplastic — returning to a high-density, semi-solid state that prevents liquids from breaking the surface.

Breathability

Because no binders are used to hold Tyvek® together, tiny perforations remain, which allow water vapor to permeate the material while preventing water and other liquids from entering, making Tyvek® highly breathable.

Barrier Protection

Tyvek® is made up of continuous fibers that provide inherent microbial penetration resistance—preventing hazardous materials, including asbestos, mold, fiberglass, and lead from passing through the material.

Tensile Strength

The nonwoven fibers of Tyvek® are randomly laid and compressed to provide superior tear and puncture resistance for long-lasting, durable protection.

Recyclability

Not only does Tyvek® bring unique performance benefits to a variety of applications, but it’s also 100% recyclable — giving products made with Tyvek® a second life in products such as park benches and playground equipment.
