Dupont Tychem 2000 Coverall Review

Reviewed by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial

The DuPont Tychem 2000 coverall is a yellow- disposable protective suit built around polyethylene-coated tyvek. The Tychem 2000 is the entry point of DuPont's chemical-barrier line: Tyvek strength underneath, a polyethylene coating on top. That coating is the whole story — it turns a particulate suit into a genuine light-splash chemical garment at a price that still allows single-use discipline. It is stocked in Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large and 4X-Large from the listed price.

Why the DuPont Tychem 2000 Stands Out

Published July 1, 2026 · Last updated July 27, 2026

The Tychem 2000 is the entry point of DuPont's chemical-barrier line: Tyvek strength underneath, a polyethylene coating on top. That coating is the whole story — it turns a particulate suit into a genuine light-splash chemical garment at a price that still allows single-use discipline.

Fabric, Configuration and Protection

Light liquid chemical splash — DuPont rates Tychem 2000 fabric for at least 30 minutes of protection against 42 chemical challenges. The configuration matters as much as the fabric: attached hood, front zipper, elastic wrists and ankles, serged seams. We cover it as single suits (the listed price by size) rather than forcing a 12-pack case buy. Like every disposable garment, it is a single-exposure product — once contaminated, it comes off at the work boundary and goes into the waste stream your standard requires.

Fit follows the disposable-coverall rule: order one size over street clothes so the suit survives crouching and reaching. The elastic interfaces seal approximately, not absolutely — for regulated work, tape the wrist and ankle junctions and treat the suit as one layer of a system that includes gloves from the chemical-resistant gloves collection, eye protection, and the respirator your hazard assessment names.

Where It Falls Short

Its limits: Concentrated chemicals, long exposure windows, or anything the permeation tables flag — the serged seams stitch through the fabric, and each needle hole is a potential leak path; step up to the taped-seam Tychem 4000. No disposable coverall is a submersion garment, an arc-flash layer, or a substitute for the engineering controls that should come first in the hierarchy.

Pros and Cons

Who Should Buy It

Consider the DuPont Tychem 2000 if you are maintenance crews, pesticide applicators, and industrial cleaners facing dilute acid, base, or water-based chemical splash who need a full Medium-to-4X-Large size run in affordable single suits.

Who Should Skip It

Skip it for concentrated chemicals, long exposure windows, or anything the permeation tables flag — the serged seams stitch through the fabric, and each needle hole is a potential leak path; step up to the taped-seam Tychem 4000.

How It Compares

The KleenGuard A70 is its closest rival: also PE-coated, also hooded, with a storm-flap zipper the Tychem lacks — but sold mainly in case quantities where the Tychem 2000 comes as singles. Both sit inside the wider field ranked in our best disposable coveralls guide, and the disposable coveralls collection carries the full ladder from breathable particle suits to taped-seam chemical barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bottom Line

The DuPont Tychem 2000 does its one job well: light liquid chemical splash in a disposable garment at a defensible price. We cover it as single suits (the listed price by size) rather than forcing a 12-pack case buy. Rated 4.4/5 on grade, configuration, and value for the intended hazard.

Common questions

What fabric is the DuPont Tychem 2000 made of?

Polyethylene-coated Tyvek (Tychem 2000, formerly Tychem QC). That coating is the whole story — it turns a particulate suit into a genuine light-splash chemical garment at a price that still allows single-use discipline

What sizes does the DuPont Tychem 2000 come in at WC Safety?

We cover Medium, Large, X-Large, 2X-Large and 4X-Large, from the listed price. Order one size over your street clothes — disposable coveralls tear at the crotch and shoulders when undersized.

Is the DuPont Tychem 2000 reusable?

No. It is a single-use garment. Once worn against the hazard it was chosen for, it is doffed at the work boundary and disposed of per the governing standard.

DuPont Tychem 2000 vs KleenGuard A70 — which should I buy?

The KleenGuard A70 is its closest rival: also PE-coated, also hooded, with a storm-flap zipper the Tychem lacks — but sold mainly in case quantities where the Tychem 2000 comes as singles.

Does the DuPont Tychem 2000 have a hood?

Yes — attached hood, front zipper, elastic wrists and ankles, serged seams. Choose hooded suits when the contaminant is airborne or overhead.

Can I wear the DuPont Tychem 2000 for asbestos or mold work?

It will physically serve, but asbestos and mold are particulate hazards — a Tyvek 400 suit with hood and boots like the TY122S is the standard pick, at lower cost. Save the Tychem for chemical splash.

What respirator should I pair with the DuPont Tychem 2000?

The same hazard that picked the suit picks the respirator: P100 particulate filters for dusts, fibers, and mold; organic-vapor or multi-gas cartridges for chemical spray. Start with our when-do-you-need-a-respirator guide and the respiratory protection collection.

Are the seams on the DuPont Tychem 2000 sealed?

No — the seams are serged (stitched), which DuPont pairs with the light-splash rating. Taped-seam Tychem 4000/6000 suits close the stitch-hole leak path when exposure escalates.

How much does the DuPont Tychem 2000 cost?

From the listed price at the linked Amazon listing — single suits, so you can trial one size before committing to a case. Prices track the live Amazon listing.

Is the DuPont Tychem 2000 waterproof?

It resists liquid chemical splash — that is its purpose — but it is not a rain suit or submersion garment, and hood/wrist interfaces are not watertight without taping.

What color is the DuPont Tychem 2000, and does color matter?

Yellow. Color is convention, not protection — yellow signals chemical garments, blue is common for biological and cleanroom work, white for general particulate suits. Crews use it for at-a-glance task separation.

Can I wear the DuPont Tychem 2000 over my regular work clothes?

Yes — that is the intended use. Disposable coveralls layer over clothing; size up so seams are not loaded when you crouch, and tuck interfaces per your site procedure.

What should I do with the DuPont Tychem 2000 after use?

Doff it at the boundary of the work area, folding the contaminated surface inward, and dispose of it according to the standard that governs your hazard — regulated waste for asbestos, lead, or biological work; general industrial waste otherwise. Never brush off and re-hang a contaminated suit.

Where does the DuPont Tychem 2000 fit in the WC Safety coverall lineup?

See how it ranks against all ten suits in the best disposable coveralls guide, or browse the full disposable coveralls collection — from the breathable KleenGuard A20 up to the taped-seam DuPont Tychem 6000.

Does the rating on the box equal the protection I get?

No. Published ratings come from laboratory conditions. Regulators apply derating precisely because real fit is worse, and the derated figure is the one to plan from.

Sources. Requirements referenced here come from OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and the NIOSH recommendations. Where a consensus standard governs, the ANSI document is named in the text.

Why trust WC Safety

WC Safety is an independent, affiliate-supported review site. It is not a retailer: it holds no inventory, takes no orders, and earns only from qualifying purchases through clearly marked links — which never changes what a product is rated to do. Standards language is taken from the regulation text directly, and ratings are reported as the manufacturer publishes them. We run no laboratory and perform no testing of our own. Where published sources disagree, we say so and plan on the conservative figure rather than the flattering one.

Our methodology

Figures come from the regulation and the published specification, in that order. Derated numbers are calculated, not estimated. Nothing here is presented as a measured result, because we measure nothing.
