Choosing the Right Disposable Sleeve Cover
Choose TY500S when the task calls for lightweight Tyvek 400 forearm coverage against fine particles and light liquid splash. The elastic openings help hold the sleeve at the upper arm and wrist, but they do not create sealed interfaces with gloves or clothing.
For high-volume tasks involving oils, grease, or non-hazardous fluids, compare the ComfortSafe 18-inch polyethylene sleeve covers. Select the material, coverage, seam, packaging, and verified barrier properties required for the actual task.

Safety and Selection Note
TY500S is a partial-body-coverage sleeve. It is not a glove, full-body suit, sterile product, DuPont IsoClean garment, flame-resistant sleeve, cut-resistant sleeve, or universally chemical-resistant barrier. Do not use it for chemical immersion, heavy splash, heat, flame, sparks, or sharp-edge hazards unless separate manufacturer data and the employer's hazard assessment specifically support the complete PPE system.
DuPont warns that Tyvek 400 garments can burn and possibly melt and should not be worn near heat, open flames, sparks, ignition sources, or in potentially explosive or flammable environments. Replace a sleeve if it is torn, damaged, contaminated, or no longer positioned correctly.
Review the DuPont Tyvek 400 TY500S technical data sheet and current manufacturer instructions before selection and use.
FAQ
What are DuPont Tyvek 400 TY500S sleeve covers used for?
DuPont identifies maintenance, remediation, laboratory work, spray painting, and general cleanup as applications. The employer must confirm that Tyvek 400 and partial arm coverage are appropriate for the actual exposure.
How many TY500S sleeves are in one case?
One order unit contains 200 individual sleeves, equal to 100 pairs.
How long are TY500S sleeve covers?
DuPont describes TY500S as an 18-inch sleeve. The technical data sheet lists a typical finished sleeve length of 18 3/4 inches.
Do these sleeves have elastic at both ends?
Yes. TY500S has elastic openings at the bicep and wrist. The elastic helps position the sleeve but does not create a sealed connection with other PPE.
Are TY500S sleeve covers sterile or cleanroom processed?
No. This listing is the standard Tyvek 400 TY500S sleeve and is not represented as sterile, cleanroom processed, or as a DuPont Tyvek IsoClean product.
Are TY500S sleeves chemical resistant?
Tyvek 400 provides an inherent barrier against fine particles and light liquid splash, but TY500S is not universally chemical resistant. Identify the substance and exposure conditions, then consult DuPont data and the workplace hazard assessment before use.
Do TY500S sleeves replace gloves or protective clothing?
No. They provide partial arm coverage only. Use gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, respiratory protection, and other PPE required for the task.
Can Tyvek 400 sleeve covers be reused?
TY500S is limited-use protective clothing. Do not assume a worn or contaminated sleeve remains suitable for reuse. Follow DuPont instructions and the employer's replacement and disposal procedures.
