Tyvek rolls and covers

Tyvek is a 100% polyethylene (HDPE) non-woven material, that combines characteristics of paper, plastic foil and textiles in a convenient way. It has proven its worth as a preservation material in archives and museum storages for the protection of all kinds of objects. Since it is permeable, non-abrasive, waterproof and dustproof, it meets most requirements for functional protection. It provides a barrier for spores and hems fungal and bacterial growth.

We offer two types of rolled Tyvek in different sizes: Tyvek® 1622E soft-structure is perfectly suitable for the packaging of most works of art and museum objects for transportation or storage. It is soft, tear-resistant, breathable and antistatic. Tyvek® 1073 is suitable for packaging, labels, envelopes, etc.. Compared to the 1622E, it is more smooth, rigid, tear-resistant and printable.

The Tyvek protective covers are made of Tyvek 1422A, which is a soft Type. they are prefabricated for the packaging of valuable garments or clothes racks. The gussed covers are particularly suitable for larger and bulky garments, such as military uniforms or heavy cloaks. The covers have a tube-shaped opening at the top for the hanger, which can be pulled tight for further dust protection.

Padded hanger covers provide extra support when hanging historical garments and distribute the weight of the garment over a large area. Wooden, metal or plastic hangers should not be used without a cover, direct contact could lead to acid migration and damage to garments. Hanging historic garments is only recommended for textiles in good condition, however fragile costumes should be stored flat.
