Soft Tyvek (aka Tyvek softwrap, Type 14 style):
Description: Spunbonded, high-density polyethylene fibers manufactured by DuPont to form a non-woven fabric. “Type 14” styles are thinner and more pliable than “Type 10” styles (“crate liner”), but are also lightweight, chemically stable, non-abrasive, tear resistant and water resistant while remaining vapor permeable. It “breathes.”All are non-dusting, resist mold/mildew, and are pH neutral. Often used to cover foam pads or line cavities in contour cut foam, or as a primary wrapping material. Also used to make filled bags or snakes to conform to and stabilize objects while being moved.
Sizes:
- 60″ x 10yds. (roll)
- 60″ x 100yds. (roll)
Hard Tyvek (aka crate liner, Tyvek hardwrap, Type 10 style):
Description: Spunbonded from filaments of 100% high-density polyethylene by DuPont. It is chemically stable, mold and mildew resistant, lint free, acid free, and has a smooth surface. Resistant to wetting, but it allows transmission of moisture and vapor. “Type 10” styles are stiffer than garment-weight “soft” (Type 14). Used as a high-strength barrier and wrapping material. Also used as a handling support for textiles, and to make non-abrasive, tear-resistant envelopes and media sleeves.
