Pavilion participants to highlight solutions for Medtech and Protech

Amongst the range of products and technologies on offer in the pavilion, a number of companies will be offering solutions for the Medtech and Protech sectors. These include:

• Brückner Trockentechnik: they develop, produce and distribute machines and lines for the coating and finishing of apparel fabrics, technical textiles, nonwovens, glass fabrics and floor coverings.

In Brückner's technology centre, production capacities are available to finish and heat-set a wide range of different types of fabrics for protective clothing.
  

• CHT: they offer special functional finishes which will optimise the protective performance of face masks, and reduce the absorption of bacteria and viruses of contaminated aerosols in the outer layer according to the company. Their finishes can be applied to ordinary textile masks, medical face masks as well as PPE and FFP masks.
  

• Mahlo: their systems for process control and quality measurement are ideal for the production of protective masks made from nonwoven fabric. Their Gravimat DFI sensor measures weight and material thickness using isotope radiation, and due to the technology used, measurement inaccuracies due to fabric flutter, a common problem, are solved.
  

• Norafin: producers of spunlaced and needlepunched nonwovens for a range of sectors, their Type B2 mouth and nose masks are made of two different functional layers which reduce the risk of infection. The soft layer ensures a soft fit to the face and acts as a filter, while the stiff layer brings stability and water repellency. The masks are washable at least 10 times.
