What is a LATEX PRINTER?
A latex printer is a printer which creates designs using latex ink. To expand on this, the print heads used by a latex printer distribute water-based ink using latex as a carrier for the color pigment.
What is TYVEK?
Tyvek (/taɪˈvɛk/) is a brand of synthetic flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers. The name "Tyvek" is a registered trademark of the American multinational chemical company DuPont, which discovered and commercialized Tyvek in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Tyvek's properties—such as being difficult to tear but easily cut, and waterproof against liquids while allowing water vapor to penetrate—have led to it being used in a variety of applications. Tyvek is often used as housewrap, a synthetic material used to protect buildings during construction, or as personal protective equipment (PPE).
A unique nonwoven material, ightweight and durable, Tyvek® is breathable, yet resistant to water, abrasion, bacterial penetration and aging, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications across diverse industries.
