HOW IT WORKS Hydro electret charging works by improving the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of a material to prevent electret charging from drifting. Charging only works when the correct masterbatch is utilized which, together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, ensures that the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap smaller particles.

This new addition to CHINAPLAS includes a display area called CMF (color, material, finish) Walls, a Design Forum where presenters will discuss sustainability, and finally a Designers' Night networking event. PolyOne is showcasing its innovative polymer technologies at CMF Inspiration Walls, where experts will be on hand to connect with customers. On May 23, Pal Shi, senior product manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia, will present “Light-weighting, Low VOC & ECO Solutions,” a look at how PolyOne’s portfolio of sustainable solutions can be used.
