Tyvek® is ideal for many applications when protecting or storing heritage items as it is inert, non-abrasive and dustproof. The glossy side has a strong anti-static coating which repels dust and dirt. As a breathable fabric, it does give protection from dampness and moisture. Strong, but soft and flexible, it does not degrade over time. Tyvek® can be used as a protective cover for almost any type of costume, piece of furniture or artifact.
Tyvek® comes 1.4 metres wide and is available, folded, in multiples of 1 metre.
This Tyvek® is 1422A and the full specification can be found on the Dupont website. Tyvek 1422A weighs 41 g/m².
