    DuPont™ Tychem® 5000 (formerly Tychem® CPF 3) is composed of a multi-layer barrier film laminated to a durable 2.0 oz/yd² polypropylene substrate. It is strong, durable, and capable of withstanding rigorous activity in rugged situations involving liquid splash.

    Tychem® 5000 is a preferred choice for military and law enforcement personnel because it provides an effective barrier against a broad range of chemicals, including chemical warfare agents like Sarin, Mustard, and Lewisite. Its tan/orange color is often used for discreet tactical operations.
