Helping in the fight against COVID-19, Texnology® NW16 non-woven antistatic agent plays a great role

In 2020, COVID-19 has swept the world. Although the domestic epidemic has been effectively controlled, the epidemic in some overseas areas is almost out of control. According to real-time data released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 8:43 on April 30, Beijing time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide reached 3,189,017, and the cumulative number of deaths was 227,247. Among them, a total of 1,037,970 cases have been diagnosed in the United States (part of the data comes from Daily Economic News). Faced with a surge in COVID-19 cases, the United States has continued to increase overseas purchase orders for medical supplies.

On April 3, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) changed its attitude towards KN95 masks from China and announced that KN95 masks meet its standards. The huge demand for medical supplies such as masks and protective clothing is shifting from domestic to foreign countries. Non-woven fabrics are the core material for medical supplies such as masks and protective clothing. Many traditional textile companies have also transformed in order to “seize” the market and contribute to epidemic prevention.

Non-woven fabrics are also called non-woven fabrics. Since most non-woven fabrics are made of synthetic fibers, they have poor hygroscopicity and are easy to accumulate static electricity. The products are easy to attract dust, stains, and have poor air permeability. In severe cases, they can cause electric shocks, fires, and even affect medical care. Due to the use of equipment, most non-woven fabrics require varying degrees of anti-static finishing when used in medical supplies such as masks, protective clothing, and surgical drapes.

1. Antistatic finishing requirements for non-woven fabrics

Main test methods
