Tyvek 1442R Features

  • Tyvek stops or filters out 99.9% of particles 0.5-0.7 micron. Liquid hold-out tests give Tyvek the same high ratings, being non-absorbent and essentially inert.
  • 43gsm / 145 micron thickness with anti-static finish to prevent dust attraction, the non-reactive coating is inert and not detrimental.
  • Reusable and recyclable. It’s made from 100% HDPE, it contains no fillers or binders and it’s inert. Tyvek is a responsible choice for archival storage and protection for works of art.
  • Smooth, non-woven mesh of 100% high-density polyethylene fibres. It feels smooth as paper and as soft as fabric. The material is lint-free, tear-resistant and water-resistant.
  • Breathable membrane which prevents moisture from being trapped in the covered item and causing condensation.
  • Tyvek 1442R material was previously known as 1443R and is the same material
  • PEL eco-wrapped Tyvek Rolls are secured with a paper band rather than an adhesive strip, the whole roll can be used including the leading edge which would otherwise be destroyed and discarded.
  • Tyvek roll from PEL comes on 3" (76mm) core wrapped and suitably boxed for protection in transit.

We also stock Tyvek rolls in 3 metre widths, ideal for covering very large objects (212-1422300).
