The DuPont™ Tyvek® 400 Sleeve offers lightweight and reliable arm protection for industrial and remediation tasks. Made from flash-spun high-density polyethylene, Tyvek® 400 fabric delivers a unique nonwoven structure that balances protection, durability, and comfort. Unlike microporous films, the barrier is inherent to the fabric, protecting against particles as small as 1.0 micron without laminates that can wear away. Featuring elastic at both ends for a secure fit and serged seams for strength, this 18" sleeve is ideal for lead and asbestos abatement, spray painting, and general maintenance. Latex-free construction ensures added safety for sensitive users.

Key Features

Tyvek® 400 fabric: Flash-spun HDPE provides durable, lightweight protection.
Built-in barrier: Protects against dry particles down to 1.0 micron.
Elastic at both ends: Ensures secure fit at wrist and bicep.
18" length: Covers forearm and upper arm for extended protection.
Durability advantage: Outperforms microporous film fabrics after wear and abrasion.
Latex-free construction: Safe for sensitive users.

Intended Use

These sleeves are designed for tasks requiring dependable particle barrier protection for the arms. They are ideal when full-body coverage is not needed.

Lead and asbestos abatement/remediation
Spray painting and general clean-up
Maintenance and operations in dusty or contaminated areas
Worn with Tyvek® 400 garments for extended protection
