Description
Tyvek® Soft Structure - The soft feel of fabric, the tear-resistance of Tyvek®.
DuPont™ Tyvek® Soft Structure is a lightly bonded product with an embossed pattern, providing a softer, flexible substrate with the "hand", or feel of fabric.
Made from very fine, high density polyethylene fibers, Tyvek® brand protective material offers all the best characteristics of paper, film and fabric in one material. This unique balance of properties, which cannot be found in any other material, makes Tyvek®lightweight yet strong; vapor-permeable, yet water, chemical, puncture, tear and abrasion- resistant. Tyvek® is low-linting, smooth and opaque. It is flexible and easy to sew. It's often used to make covers, camping accessories, windsocks / decoys, promotional clothing, bags and much more. It's also ideal as an interlining between double sided signs, flags, and banners.
It is a high opacity material with excellent whiteness and good surface stability that can be glued, sewn, and, to a limited extent, ultrasonically seamed and heat-sealed in fabrication. It can be printed with offset or screen techniques, although it is more demanding than hard structures.
Tyvek®1445R meets all the requirements of the USA Flammable Fabrics Act, CA-191-53, for wearing apparel.
Popular for many applications serving the arts, crafts and industry!
