Huntsman Textile Effects and Vietnamese woven cloth producer Bao Minh Textile are working together to make material that satisfies the rigorous performance standards required of isolation gowns. The combined venture came about as a consequence of a worldwide shortage of high-quality medical gowns in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bao Minh Textile will treat 760,000 meters of woven fabric With a range of Huntsman finishes and auxiliaries. This cloth will be enough to produce 345,000 high-grade isolation gowns. The goods used included oil-, water- and – stain-repellent finish PHOBOL CP-C, and non-fluorinated durable water repellent PHOBOTEX RSY.
Huntsman Textile Effects’ main representative in Vietnam, Manfred Albrecht, explained that it requires”deep usable know-how” also as finishing effects and fibres to create private protective equipment to the necessary standard.
