When it comes to procuring PPE coveralls for a pharma environment, buyers have to ensure that the PPE is rated for mitigating the hazards encountered by the staff wearing them, while at the same time ensuring that the PPE itself doesn’t unnecessarily hinder comfort and ergonomics for the wearer. This is why the DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Xpert PPE coveralls are a popular choice when it comes to pharma PPE, and in this article we shall explore some of their benefits. These coveralls conform to EN standard EN 2016/425. You can view the datasheet here.

Breathable PPE Coveralls That Repel Aerosols and Water-Based Liquids

The DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Xpert coveralls are permeable to air and water vapours, making them breathable for the wearer. However, this does not compromise their ability to repel aerosols and water-based liquids. For this reason they are a popular choice of coverall for paint sprayers, as well as in pharma plants.

Pharma Coveralls Treated for Antistatic

The DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Xpert coveralls have antistatic treatment on both sides. This antistatic treatment confirms to EN1149-5. This rating ensures that the coveralls are protected against electrostatic discharge, vital in areas where explosions are a potential risk.

Pharma PPE Coveralls That Act as a Barrier to Fine Particles

The Tyvek® material used in the DuPont™ 500 Xpert coveralls acts as a barrier against fine particles and fibres as small as 1 micron. 

Coverall PPE Designed for Optimal Ergonomics

A feature of the DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Xpert PPE coveralls is a 3-piece hood to give an optimal fit that enables ease of turning. Elastic is another feature, providing the pharma worker with PPE that grants great freedom of movement. The ergonomics of these coveralls are further boosted by a large zipper puller designed so as to be easy to grip. Weighing in at less than 180g per coverall, these are also a lightweight, yet effective, garment.

As can be gleaned from the above, it is easy to see why the DuPont™ Tyvek® 500 Xpert PPE coveralls are a popular choice for pharma workers.
