Pharma Substrates: DuPont^™ Tyvek^®

DuPont^™ Tyvek^®

Tyvek^® is a porous packaging material made of very
fine and continuous filaments of virgin high-density
polyethylene (HDPE). The unique structure of Tyvek^®
creates a tortuous path with substantial lateral
movement, making it harder for bacterial spores
and other contaminating microbes to get through.
This tough filament web makes Tyvek^® also highly
durable yet breathable reducing the risk of package
failure. Tyvek^® packaging material is the trusted choice
for all medical devices ranging from catheters to
implantable devices.
