DuPont Tyvek combines the best physical properties of paper, film, and fabric to offer unique advantages for a wide variety of applications. Made of high density polyethylene fibres, Tyvek brand materials are manufactured in a unique flash-spinning process without the use of binders—providing a durably rugged sheet structure that outperforms many conventional packaging materials, in many environmental conditions.
An inert spun-bonded (non-woven) polyethylene. Tyvek is made from spun bonded polyethylene olefin fibres. It has a paper like feel but is stronger than paper and will stretch up to 15-25% before breaking. Unaffected by water and therefore dimensionally stable in humid situations. Tyvek is a thermoplastic material and melts sharply at 135 degrees centigrade ( 275ºF).
