Tyvek 500 HV – High Visibility Protection for Hazardous Environments

Tyvek 500 HV – High Visibility Protection for Hazardous Environments

The Tyvek 500 HV is a high-visibility protective coverall designed for work in hazardous and low-light environments where visibility and protection are equally critical. Combining chemical, particulate and antistatic protection with maximum visibility, it provides an all-in-one solution for demanding outdoor and industrial applications.

High Visibility Without Compromising Protection

Manufactured in fluorescent orange with silver-grey reflective bands, the Tyvek 500 HV ensures excellent visibility during both daytime and night-time work when exposed to light. Reflective bands are positioned around the arms, legs and torso, with crossed bands on the back to clearly indicate wearer orientation from all angles.

Certified to the highest class for high-visibility clothing, this coverall is ideal for environments where workers must remain clearly visible in poor weather, darkness or busy operational areas.

Comfortable Design for Active Work

Despite its high level of protection, the Tyvek 500 HV remains lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. An ergonomic cut with an ample crotch area allows freedom of movement during physically demanding tasks.

Elasticated wrists, ankles and an integrated elasticated waist help maintain a secure fit, while the large zip puller allows easy fastening when wearing gloves. The hood is designed to comfortably fit over a respirator, supporting use with additional respiratory protection when required.

Advanced Fabric Performance

The Tyvek 500 HV material provides an effective barrier against fine particles, fibres and water-based liquid splashes, while remaining breathable thanks to its air and moisture vapour permeability. This helps reduce heat stress and improves wear comfort during long shifts.

The fabric is ultra-low linting, antistatically treated on the inside and designed for use in sensitive or safety-critical environments.

Certified Safety You Can Trust

The Tyvek 500 HV is certified to EU Regulation 2016/425 as Category III chemical protective clothing, offering:

  • Type 5-B protection against solid airborne particles
  • Type 6-B protection against limited liquid splashes
  • Protection against infective agents
  • Protection against radioactive contamination
  • Antistatic performance (internal treatment)
  • High-visibility certification to the highest class

Stitched external seams, a Tyvek material auto-lock zipper and protective zipper flap help minimise inward leakage and enhance overall wearer protection.
