For more than 50 years, DuPont Personal Protection (DPP) has been creating groundbreaking solutions that protect industrial professionals around the globe. DPP brings together some of the most trusted names in personal protective equipment (PPE)—Tyvek®, Tychem®, Nomex® and Kevlar®—to provide unparalleled solutions that protect workers against chemical, thermal, electric arc, mechanical and other workplace hazards.
The U.S. food manufacturing industry employs more than 1.5 million people, with production workers accounting for the bulk of those jobs. DuPont offers a wide range of protective clothing that addresses the occupational needs of food and beverage industry workers.
In addition to helping protect workers, DuPont PPE helps protect processes and final food and beverage products from costly contamination.
Uses for DuPont PPE
Food and beverage manufacturing includes a number of applications that require particle, chemical, liquid and oil protection, including:
Food and beverage processing
Workers need protection in both wet manufacturing processes (e.g., production of meats, beverages and dairy products) and dry manufacturing processes (e.g., baked goods and other grain-based products).
Industrial pressurized cleaning
Workers may be exposed to industrial cleaning agents and tasks, such as tank and machinery cleaning, which require pressurized washing and protection from water-based chemicals.
Maintenance and plant operations
DuPont offers a wide range of protective apparel for protection against hazardous and non-hazardous particulates.
Emergency response
Higher-level protection is needed in manufacturing operations that require refrigeration, where ammonia leaks could be a threat.
