Cleanroom & Contamination Protection
Three protective clothing ranges for cleanroom, pharmaceutical, and hazardous environments.
To prevent hazards to staff while handling cytostatics, a range of suitable precautions must be taken. Care must be taken to prevent the formation of cytostatic aerosols and dust and to avoid cytostatic contamination during production, preparation, provision, disposal, storage and transportation of such substances. Potential health hazards can be caused even by low-level contact with cytostatic substances. If there is any risk of contact, use of suitable personal protection equipment (PPE) is mandatory to ensure effective full-scale protection.
As single-use protective clothing, DuPont™ Tyvek® IsoClean®, DuPont™ Tyvek® and DuPont™ Tychem® provide a range of products that deliver superior contamination and bioburden protection for products and processes in cleanroom environments.
Tyvek® IsoClean® coveralls are designed especially for use in cleanrooms and controlled environments demanding high levels of microbiological protection.
Protective suits made of Tyvek® are also suitable for activities involved in the production of cytostatics and offer different levels of protection depending on hazard type.
Accessories made of Tychem® 2000 C provide additional protection from inorganic chemicals for body parts subjected to high levels of exposure.

Contamination Risk Factors & Validation Stages for Sterile Garments
Humans are the biggest source of contamination in a cleanroom, making cleanroom apparel selection a critical consideration. With the 2020 draft revision of the European Union’s good manufacturing practices (GMP) Annex 1 and the eventual alignment with the US Food & Drug Administration guidelines, companies involved in sterile manufacturing are tasked with developing a contamination control strategy which includes a risk assessment.
