      TYVEK DISPOSABLE OVERALLS
      Dupont
      2016

      Used by artists, decorators, and scene-of-crime officers, disposable overalls are widely thought to be made of paper. However, Tyvek is a spunbonded material invented by DuPont in 1955 and made from high-density polyethene fibres. It is incredibly durable, is water and chemical resistant, tear and puncture-proof, breathable and can be printed on.
