tyvek suit
Disposable protective coverall
A tyvek suit is a protective coverall made from Tyvek, a brand of synthetic material that resists water, particles, and chemicals while remaining lightweight and breathable.
Workers wear them in hazardous environments—asbestos removal, crime scene investigation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, painting.
The suits are typically white, disposable, and have become visual shorthand for contamination danger: The cleanup crew arrived in tyvek suits.
