JCEM Group

We're in the fight against COVID-19 by providing pleating equipment:
- Supporting existing customers who suddenly "re-tooled" to start manufacturing pleated facemasks using our machinery
- Remotely offering technical assistance on machine programming, web-handling, and other general guidance
- Accelerated production to finish machinery earlier than anticipated, so new pleating machines could be deployed into production much faster
- Sacrificed all demonstration equipment worldwide that is vital for everyday development needs, and normally not for sale, for customers to use in the production of respirator filters and other filtration needs in the fight against COVID-19

The Engineered Products division of Johns Manville is finding new ways to support the communities and people who are on the front lines of this global crisis. U.S. production has recently started on two urgently needed nonwovens fabrics:
- For the manufacturing of various types of needed face masks Johns Manville in Richland, MS, has started production of a meltblown filtration media. The media is exceeding Level 1 BFE 95% (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency) and VFE (Viral Filtration Efficiency) requirements. These results were verified by an FDA-registered national laboratory. Sales inquiries: Patrick.Morgan@JM.com

- For the manufacturing of disposable medical gowns and privacy curtains Johns Manville in Spartanburg, SC, has started production of a coated continuous filament, calendared polyester nonwoven. It meets the requirements for a Level 3 medical gown as established by ANSI/AAMI PB70:2012 Liquid barrier performance and classification of protective apparel and drapes intended for use in health care facilities. Per this standard, the material was tested to AATCC 42-2017 Water Resistance: Impact Penetration Test and AATCC 127-2017 Water Resistance: Hydrostatic Pressure Test. Additionally, Evalith® 017/120H3 has been tested to and meets the flammability standard per 16 CFR Part 1610 Class 1, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration policy and guidance.
