Dupont

Headquartered in Wilmington, Del., DuPont’s Tyvek—a nonwoven material offering barrier protection, durability and breathability—celebrated its 40th anniversary. Combining the best characteristics of paper, film and fabric, demand for Tyvek’s high-performance protection continues to be strong. Introduced in 1967, Tyvek is 100 percent recyclable, and has unique qualities that serve diverse industries. The most commonly known application is DuPont Tyvek HomeWrap, but Tyvek is also used in protective garments, envelopes, tags and labels, indoor and outdoor signs and banners, sterile medical and industrial packaging, bags, maps and car covers.
