Tyvek® 1442-R has a water-soluble antistatic layer on both sides. Thanks to additional corona treatment, this style can be adhered and printed on better. The material allows moisture to escape, is pH-neutral and is water-repellent. Tyvek® 1442-R is extremely tear-resistant and enormously flexible. This lightly structured style has a soft surface that protects the products to be covered from damage.
Owing to its flexible and soft structure, Tyvek® 1442-R is used to produce protective suits. In industry, this style is used for protective hoods for robots, for example. Since Tyvek® 1442-R consists of white,
reflective, light and reusable material, it is even laid out under orange trees to reflect sunlight in order to support the maturation process of the underside of the fruit.
