The technology, designed and developed by the Departament of Material and Commodity Sciences and Textile Metrology, together with partners from the Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres and the Central Institute for Labour Protection, enables production of biodegradable filtration half masks for protection of the airways and of filters for industrial dust extraction. The products are made of biodegradable non-woven materials with PLA of filtration efficacy at 99% in temperatures up to 40°C, in neutral or not highly aggressive chemical environments. This technology is protected by patent application.
This technology may find applications in production of protective clothes and filtration materials.
