Dupont DD has unveiled its latest innovation – liquid-tight garment for personal protection. The garment, called DuPont Tyvek 800 J, is a new durable, light-weight, limited – use Type 3 chemical protective garment.
Its novel Tyvek 800 J Fabric Technology resists pressurised jets of low – concentration, water-based, inorganic chemicals, while providing protection. Similarly, DuPont has set new benchmarks in creation of Ebola protection garment.
The garment is designed to be used in industrial cleaning applications, including pressure washing and tank cleaning, food processing, petrochemical installations, environmental remediation, maintenance, and other pharmaceutical operations.

DuPont’s earnings for the fourth quarter 2015 beat expectations, incurring a loss of 26 cents per share, from continuing operations in the quarter. DuPont and Dow ChemicalDOW agreed to combine their businesses in December 2015 in an all-stock deal to create a chemical behemoth, named “DowDuPont”, with a combined market value of around $130 billion, before eventually breaking up into three independent companies through tax-free spin-offs. The deal is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016.
DuPont’s shares fell roughly by 1 per cent to close at $63.93.
