Nonwoven Film Composites Made in Germany
We develop and manufacture high-quality, certified composite materials, for example for the production of protective clothing and surgical gowns.
What began as a concept for an infection control gown with improved comfort has developed into a business area at CaPlast that extends beyond medicine into new industries such as chemicals, food, and electronics.
Possible features and functionalities
The standards that specify the relevant tests for materials are, of course, met by every composite material we manufacture for the production of personal protective equipment such as infection protection gowns, surgical gowns, or chemical protection suits. However, in everyday use, the requirements often go beyond the test conditions. The climate is colder, warmer, or more humid, and working environments and conditions may require greater resistance to certain chemicals and contaminated particles or aerosols. The processing of our materials must also be taken into account, because ultimately, the desired property is not determined solely by our roll goods, but also by the final protective suit, for example. The most important requirements for PPE:
- Abrasion resistance
- Tear resistance
- Liquid repellent
- Resistance to penetration by infectious agents
- Resistance to liquid penetration
- Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood
- Protection against aerosols, spray, and light splashes
- Blood tightness
- Particle tightness
- Aerosol tightness
- Flammability, flame retardancy
- Bacterial resistance and virus resistance
- Air permeability, diffusion openness
- Antistatic surfaces
- Increased breathability
- Washability
