When working with hazardous chemicals, the effectiveness of PPE isn’t just about the protective garment itself. Interfaces between gloves, boots, hoods and garment closures can create potential points of vulnerability, making effective connection and coverage an important part of the overall protective system.
DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 Tape is designed for use with chemical protective garments to help reinforce these critical PPE interfaces. It can be used around glove, hood, boot and zipper connections, providing an additional barrier against chemical permeation while helping maintain the integrity of the overall PPE system.
Designed for demanding environments, the tape offers strong adhesion, easy tear-by-hand application and low curling for straightforward handling. It can support PPE requirements across applications including emergency response, chemical spill clean-up, petrochemical operations and maintenance activities.
While Tychem® 6000 Tape can provide valuable additional protection at PPE interfaces, it should not be considered a replacement for correctly selected chemical protective clothing or a liquid- or vapour-tight seal. PPE should always be selected according to the specific hazards, exposure conditions and relevant risk assessment.
At CES, we can support customers beyond simply supplying the tape. Our team has extensive experience in cleanroom consumables, PPE and controlled-environment products, offering product evaluation and recommendations to help customers identify suitable products for their specific requirements.
