The Need: Advancing Nonwoven Fibrous Webs for Personal Protective Equipment

The demand for high-performance personal protective equipment (PPE) has been escalating rapidly, necessitating improved nonwoven materials that can meet stringent safety requirements. Traditional nonwoven fibrous webs lack the necessary combination of properties, such as filtration efficiency, durability, and hydrophobicity, to effectively serve as high-quality PPE, including facemasks. There is a pressing commercial need for an innovative technology that addresses these limitations and delivers enhanced nonwoven fibrous webs for PPE applications.

The Technology: Cutting-Edge Composite Nonwoven Fibrous Webs

Our technology offers a groundbreaking solution in the form of composite nonwoven fibrous webs, revolutionizing the PPE industry. These fibrous webs are constructed from a unique combination of materials, specifically a thermoplastic elastomeric polymer (TPE) component, a soft elastomeric polymer component, and optionally, an antimicrobial filler. The synergistic properties of this composite enable exceptional filtration efficiency, hydrophobicity, and durability, making it a game-changer for personal protective equipment.

Commercial Applications: Versatile Applications for Improved PPE and More

The technology's applications extend far beyond PPE, offering versatile possibilities for various commercial purposes. Some key applications include:

• Gas filtration articles: Achieving high-efficiency filtration of harmful gases and particles for industrial and respiratory protection.
• Liquid filtration articles: Effective removal of impurities and contaminants from liquids, benefiting industrial filtration processes.
• Sound absorption articles: Sound-dampening materials for construction, automotive, and other noise-sensitive applications.
• Surface cleaning articles: Ideal for manufacturing absorbent wipes and cleaning products with enhanced efficiency.
• Personal hygiene articles: Pioneering next-gen absorbent materials for feminine hygiene and incontinence products.
