FACE MASKS AND FILTERS BIO-BASED HIGH-PERFORMANCE FACE MASKS AND FILTERS
Plastic face masks have created massive marine & environment plastics issue during COVID-19.
WHO estimates monthly 129 billion face masks consumed.
Fiber-X has created cellulose-based hydrophobic material to replace polypropylene in face masks and energy efficient air filters
COMPOSITE MATERIAILS GRAPHENE-ORGANIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, highly conductive and flexible material.
Combined with nanocellulose a superior material emerges: highly flexible, tougher than steel and conductive
Fiber-X is developing graphene-cellulose materials including bullet-proof films, conductive coatings and antiviral membranes
ANTIVIRAL COATINGS ARE IMPORTANT TOOL TO FIGHT COVID-19 CRISIS.
Unfortunately majority contain nano-silver – toxic as liquid form
Fiber-X is creating novel antiviral coating together with Finnish research institutes
Result: food-grade antiviral coating based on natural tree bark polyphenols – utilizable from face masks to food packaging
