TYVEK® is a series of non-woven fiber products registered and manufactured by DuPont. This material is strong and durable, it is also tough and tear resistant.
TYVEK® is made from high-density polyethylene fibers, formed by a continuous process of very fine 0.5-10 micrometer fibers. These nondirectional fibers (plexifilaments) are first spun and then bonded together by heat and pressure, without the use of binders and fillers.
This spunbonded olefin is made using high density polyethylene (>99%). It is stronger than paper, yet only weighs half as much. Its texture is more natural that film, having a smooth and flexible surface. It has a wide variety of application. Its balanced physical property combines the advantages of paper, film and fiber.
