Dow uses innovative technology to bring peace of mind and comfort to healthcare workers on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19

In the fight against the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, heavy protective clothing has become the "standard" for medical workers

However, due to the full load and the shortage of materials, a protective suit is usually worn for six or seven hours, and the gaps in the clothes are sealed with tape

Special polyethylene material allows protective clothing to provide better protection

Under the epidemic, Dow uses innovative technology to bring peace of mind and comfort to medical staff on the front lines of the fight against the epidemic

Through a special process, small and uniform micropores and channels of 1-2 µm can be formed on the surface of polyethylene and calcium carbonate, so as to achieve the purpose of not only allowing the smooth passage of water vapor, but also blocking liquids such as blood

Polyethylene fiber-grade resin makes adult diapers softer

Not only protective clothing, but also women's daily necessities and adult diapers on the front line of the fight against the epidemic

Take Dow ASPUN™ polyethylene fiber grade resin as an example, it can be used in the production of diapers and feminine sanitary napkins because it can provide an ideal solution for the production of soft and good drape PE non-woven fabrics

Meltblown fiber resin is used in medical and sanitary products such as diapers and wet wipes

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the gap of "meltblown cloth" has become a hot spot in the industry and even final consumers

Compared to traditional PP meltblown resins, the new generation of nonwoven materials produced by ASPUN™ MB has:

•Better Comfort – Greatly improved drape/softness compared to PP

• Better Odor Control – No additional processing or additive technology is required to achieve the desired melt index and improve sensory properties
.

•Suitable for gamma sterilization – The molecular structure of PE determines that it can be sterilized with gamma, greatly improving production efficiency
