Gessner develops material for civil masks

Gessner is proud to introduce a new material to facilitate society's way back to normal life. The constant demand of mouth-nose protection for an everyday use prompted the development of a filter medium for community and civil masks to protect people. In addition it has a special focus on good breathability.

The newly developed material is produced in our German and US sites. It is a semisynthetic material which is ultrasonic weldable. As It is durable it can be used as a single layer application and protects people in their every-day. Our 50g/m2 material offers an efficiency of >80% @ 3um (KCl @ 10 cm/s). It has a good next-to-skin comfort due to its softness.

Please find the key benefits summarized below:

  • Durable to use it as a single-layer
  • Protects people in their every-day
  • Good next-to-skin-comfort
  • Semisynthetic material
  • Ultrasonic weldable

Feel free to reach out to discuss possible options with us in detail on filtration@neenah.de
