Tyvek® 1623E is a pin perforated Tyvek®, similar to our 1442R grade. The perforations (0.25 - 0.38mm) give additional softness, flexibility and permeability to both air and moisture. Available in roll widths up to 3 metres.
Tyvek® is used for transporting and storage for works of art. The 1623E soft structure material is pH neutral, lint free allowing condensation to escape and gives protection from external damage. The surface texture is soft and smooth like a soft fabric or paper and prevents scratching surfaces. Tyvek is flexible, tear resistant and breathable.
