They're used by military personnel in mines, field training exercises and other potentially hazardous environments. To work properly, these filters must be placed in packages, evacuated and sealed to one-half atmosphere. Tyvek® delivers the heavy-duty strength and puncture resistance needed to handle this kind of pressure.

Used in combination with aluminum foil and polyethylene film, military pouches of Tyvek® prevent moisture and oxygen damage to sensitive chemicals inside the filter casing that can cause gas masks to fail. Whether it's gas masks, munitions or other sensitive equipment, Tyvek® materials are made for today's military packaging applications. In fact, laminate structures made with Tyvek® meet Military Specifications (MIL-PRF-81705 and MIL-PRF-131) for military packaging.
