Fabric solutions for COVID-19 protection

More than ever, personal protection is needed for medical staff to ensure they are more protected while working within coronavirus risk environments. This page gives you a concrete overview of available fabrics that we can provide to help protect our frontline heroes.

Make the right protective workwear decisions

We recognize the urgency for medical personal protection solutions. Some organisations might have a clear understanding of their needs, while others are looking for some support to come to the best solution for them. We work closely together with all European partners of the protective workwear value chain - from garment makers to industrial laundries to distributors - to support you in making a choice that truly fits your needs. Please feel free to contact us with any type of questions.

Reusable & water-repellent

Fabrics for medical gowns

We've noticed an upcoming trend of hospitals, nursing and care homes in Europe using reusable, water-repellent gowns instead of disposable gowns. Reusable, water-repellent medical gowns can be made with our lightweight Tecawork® fabrics.

Read more about this reusable solution and its trends and benefits on this page.

THE FABRICS' BENEFITS

  • Comfort
    Provides a greater wearer comfort thanks to its breathability and lightweight.
  • Cost of ownership
    This fabric can be laundered at least 50 times and becomes cheaper than disposables with a one-time usage purpose.
  • Sustainable
    Compared to disposables, this fabric is very sustainable thanks to the reusable washing element, its lower eco-footprint, and it minimizes medical waste.
  • Security of supply
    The majority of its supply chain is conducted locally/regionally and has a very limited impact from international circumstances.

Fabrics for community masks

In many European countries, citizens are obliged to use face coverings when entering public spaces. In most public situations, non-certified community masks offer some protection against the spread of the coronavirus. These non-medical masks can be used for communities with no special need for medical protection. Non-certified masks can be made with our lightweight Tecawork® fabrics.

We urge other companies who form a valuable link in the European PPE value chain to join us in this mindset.
