Features & Product Details

DuPont™ Tychem® 6000 F Boot cover model POBA. Knee-length with slip-retardant sole. Fixation ties. Sole is partially stitched: splash-proof, not fully liquid tight. Available in grey and in one size.
Specially designed for use with Tychem® apparel, Tychem® accessories can help offer enhanced protection for body parts that are more exposed to hazardous substances.
Tychem® 6000 F garments and accessories are made from a lightweight and durable fabric consisting of a proprietary barrier film laminated to a heavy duty Tyvek® substrate. They offer excellent chemical permeation protection to an extensive range of chemicals, helping to protect personnel against numerous toxic industrial organic chemicals, highly concentrated inorganic chemicals (even under pressure), particulates, biohazards and certain chemical warfare agents.
Tychem® 6000 F is used for a broad range of applications from chemical spill clean-up, emergency response, to military and petrochemical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore frequently asked questions to help you choose and use DuPont Personal Protection products with confidence.
What is a Minimum Detection Permeation Rate (MDPR)?
MDPR is the lowest permeation rate measurable by the analytical system and can vary by chemical and instrument sensitivity.
What is the difference between penetration and permeation?
Penetration is passage through pores, seams, apertures, or openings. Permeation is molecular absorption, diffusion through the material, and desorption from the inner surface.
What does Cumulative Permeation Mass (CUM480) mean?
It is the total mass of chemical that permeates the fabric during the stated period, commonly 480 minutes.
What does an EN 14325 permeation class tell me?
It classifies resistance into six levels based on normalised breakthrough time. Class 6 is above 480 minutes; Classes 5 to 1 correspond to thresholds above 240, 120, 60, 30, and 10 minutes.
Are Tychem® styles breathable?
No. Their material structure is not air- or water-vapour-permeable. Risk assessment should consider temperature, workload, wearer health, breaks, and hydration.
For which applications can Tychem® garments be used?
Applications include chemical and pharmaceutical work, automotive and food processing, agrochemical handling, transport, petrochemical operations, industrial cleaning and maintenance, cleanrooms, emergency response, and military use.
What should be considered in explosive environments?
Control relative humidity, because antistatic finishes may not function below 25% RH. Correctly and continuously ground the wearer and garment through suitable shoes, flooring, and/or a grounding cable.
What is a Steady State Permeation Rate (SSPR)?
SSPR is the constant permeation rate after equilibrium is reached. It may not be reached during the standard 480-minute test.
Can permeation be measured for every chemical?
Testing is possible for liquids and gases when a suitable analytical method and detection limit exist. Solids may be tested in a solvent only when the fabric also resists that solvent.
What does permeation data tell me about a garment?
It describes the material barrier against a hazardous chemical using breakthrough time and permeation rate. A result above 480 minutes means the defined rate was not reached during eight hours, not that no permeation occurred.
What guidance applies to chemical mixtures?
Mixture behaviour depends on concentration, temperature, molecular properties, barrier construction, exposure time, pressure, and other factors. Use chemical-specific test data and seek DuPont guidance when needed.
The temperature of my hazard is higher than listed. What should I do?
Do not use lower-temperature data. Chemical hazards become more aggressive as temperature rises, and the garment is not thermal insulation. Unless stated otherwise, tests are performed at about 22–27°C.
What are normalised and actual breakthrough detection times?
Normalised time is when permeation reaches a defined rate, typically 0.1 or 1.0 µg/cm²/min. Actual time is the first analytical detection at the instrument's MDPR.
The temperature of my hazard is lower than listed. What should I do?
Use the higher-temperature hazard data only when the physical phase is the same; this gives a more conservative result. The garment does not protect against cold injury and some fabrics may lose flexibility below -25°C.
How long can chemical protective clothing be worn once contaminated?
It depends on the chemical, toxicity, concentration, fabric performance, contaminated area, temperature, pressure, and undergarments. Compare actual breakthrough time with the task duration and use caution when it is shorter.
What does Cumulative Permeation Time (Time150) mean?
It is the time required for a specified cumulative mass of chemical to permeate a square metre of material; SafeSPEC reports the time to reach its defined mass threshold.
What are common mistakes when using protective clothing?
Examples include opening garments in the hazard zone, moving between zones while contaminated, contact with heat or sharp edges, incorrect grounding, selecting the wrong fabric or protection level, and failing to replace damaged clothing.
The concentration of my hazard is higher than listed. What should I do?
Do not use data for the lower concentration; it will not provide an accurate assessment. Contact DuPont for assistance.
