Huntsman Textile Effects has a comprehensive range of Barrier Effects for both nonwoven and woven medical applications, including facemasks and Personal Protective Equipment. From wetting agents, crosslinkers to oil and water repellents, our established and proven finishing solutions enable mills to meet stringent performance requirements and achieve increased productivity.
Our primary recommended antistatic agent for polypropylene (PP) nonwoven that provides antistatic effect without influencing hydrostatic pressure, alcohol and blood repellence on PP-SMS & PP-SSMMS medical nonwoven articles.
An oil and water repellent fluorocarbon treatment specifically developed for PP and PET nonwoven materials. Displaying an excellent barrier effect, PHOBOL® NW-MD prevents oil, alcohol or water-based stains from penetrating into the substrate.
For nonwoven and woven facemasks, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as surgical gowns and scrubs, we offer a range of products meeting the broad spectrum of repellency requirements for durable and non-durable applications. Our offer includes both Fluorinated (PHOBOL®) and Non-Fluorinated (PHOBOTEX®, ZELANTM) products.
An oil, water and stain repellent finish specifically developed for cotton, viscose, cellulose/synthetics. It displays an excellent barrier effect. It prevents oil, alcohol or water-based stains from penetrating into the substrate.
A good protection against liquid chemicals for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suitable on substrates for synthetic, cellulosic and synthetic/cellulose fabrics. It exhibits good repellency against various liquid chemicals and oil repellency and water-based stains penetrating substrates.
An oil, water and stain repellent finish specifically developed for high-performance specialty and technical textiles (aramid and military fabric). It displays an excellent barrier effect -- hydro-head performance & dynamic absorption. It exhibits strong oil repellency and water-based stains penetrating the substrate.
A good protection against liquid chemicals for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suitable on substrates for synthetic, cellulosic and synthetic/cellulose fabrics. It exhibits good repellency against various liquid chemicals and oil repellency and water-based stains penetrating substrates.
An oil, water and stain repellent finish specifically developed for high-performance textiles suitable on substrates for synthetic, cellulosic and synthetic/cellulose fabrics. It displays an excellent barrier effect on hydro-head performance against water absorption and water penetrations. It prevents oil, and water-based stains from penetrating the substrate.
A non-fluorinated durable water repellent finish for textiles of cellulosic, synthetic and synthetic cellulosic. It displays excellent water repellent and rainproof finishing including preventing water-based stains from penetrating substrates.
A non-fluorinated durable water repellent finish for textiles of cellulosic, synthetic and synthetic cellulosic. It displays excellent water repellent and rainproof finishing with additional soft hand and improvement of running properties (not recommended for use on facemasks).
A non-fluorinated durable water repellent finish for textiles of cellulosic, synthetic and synthetic cellulosic. It displays excellent water repellent and increased hydrostatic pressure including preventing water-based stains from penetrating substrates (not recommended for use on facemasks).
A renewably sourced non-fluorinated durable water repellent finish for textiles of cellulosic, synthetic and synthetic cellulosic including nonwovens. It exhibits excellent water repellent protection and water-based stains from penetrating the substrates. It provides a soft handle on finished textiles.
