Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between 20µm and 40µm LLG sleeves?
The 40µm version provides a thicker, more durable PE barrier, offering increased resistance to tearing and punctures compared to the standard 20µm disposable models.
2. Why should I choose Tyvek 500 over standard PE sleeves?
Tyvek 500 from DuPont offers a unique breathable yet highly repellent material, making it more comfortable for extended wear while providing superior protection against very fine dust and pressurized liquid splashes.
3. Are these oversleeves antistatic?
While standard PE sleeves like the LLG series are generally not antistatic, the DuPont Tyvek 500 material is treated to offer antistatic properties when properly grounded.
4. Do the sleeves come in different lengths?
Standard disposable models like the Franz Mensch Eco PE are typically 40cm long, which provides full coverage from the wrist to the mid-upper arm for most users.
