Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protection equipment (PPE) forms a barrier between an individual and airborne debris. Adhesives are a preferred method for bonding and sealing PPE because they form a reliable seal without puncturing the substrates.

Medical Drapes, Gowns, and Masks

Disposable surgical gowns are assembled by laminating two nonwoven pieces to both sides of a barrier film. Surgical face masks require adhesive solutions for strap attachment, mask forming, and fabric lamination. Surgical drapes are assembled by attaching typical components such as nonwoven anesthesia screen, poly arm covers, and nonwoven main panel using adhesives. 

Face Shield Assembly

Typical face shield assembly involves bonding a polycarbonate or polyester (PET) film to a foam.

Protective Gear Assembly

Adhesives in protective gear often bonds materials and also seals joints to prevent contamination. We offer many solutions for medical protective gear bonding and sealing applications:

• Face mask lens bonding and sealing
• Hose attachment bonding
