Tychem 5000 Hazmat Suit (Formerly Tychem CPF3) – Advanced Chemical & Viral Protection

When operating in high-risk, hazardous environments, protective apparel must deliver uncompromising performance. The DuPont™ Tychem 5000 Hazmat Suit, formerly known as Tychem CPF3, is engineered to provide superior protection against a wide range of chemicals, liquids, and viral hazards. Designed for professionals who cannot afford failure, this full-body chemical protective suit delivers reliable defense for emergency response, industrial hazmat teams, healthcare workers, and utility crews operating in unpredictable and dangerous conditions.

Constructed with an 18 mil multi-layer barrier laminated fabric, the Tychem 5000 suit forms a robust shield against chemical splashes, biological hazards, and viral penetration. The durable 2 oz/sq. yd. polypropylene substrate enhances strength while maintaining flexibility, allowing workers to perform critical tasks without restriction. This balance of protection and wearability makes the Tychem 5000 an essential component of any serious PPE program.

The suit features taped seams that significantly improve resistance to heavy liquid splashes, preventing penetration at critical stress points. A heavy-duty front zipper closure ensures quick donning and doffing, while the attached hood with elastic face opening, elastic wrists, and integrated socks create a comprehensive, sealed barrier from head to toe. Every detail is designed to minimize exposure and maximize confidence when working in contaminated environments.
