Recommended use: nonwoven products that need protection from liquid (e.g., roofing underlays, tablecloths, pipe wraps, face masks) ANTIMICROBIAL Antimicrobial additives are important for nonwoven fabrics used in PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) and healthcare applications.
They limit the growth of bacteria and fungi to protect the nonwoven fabric and prevent the formation of unpleasant odors.
Recommended use: nonwoven fabrics used in construction (e.g., roof underlays) and in transportation (e.g., seat covers in buses) * FDA/EU compliance information available upon request ** It is the responsibility of the end article manufacturer to ensure compliance with flame retardancy standards LIGHT STABILIZER Nonwovens exposed to sunlight often need to incorporate light stabilizers to protect them from color fading and loss of mechanical properties.

APPLICATION BULLETIN MagIQ™ Nonwoven Electret Additives for Protective Face Masks Electret additives are used in the manufacture of nonwovens for protective face masks to impart long- lasting filtration properties.
Protective face masks, including the N95 type and surgical masks, are commonly composed of three layers of nonwoven fabric with different properties and functions.
Charging only works when the correct additive solution is utilized, and together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, it ensures the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap small airborne particles.
