A face mask completely made from hemp fabric.

The present invention falls within the area of polymeric materials applied to the sector of manufacturing materials for use in filters for filtration equipment such as ventilators and for protective masks. In particular, the invention relates to multilayer filters for ventilators and protective masks which can be biodegradable and which comprise filtration materials based on ultrafine fibers obtained by electrohydrodynamic and aerohydrodynamic processing and which exercise passive FFP1, FFP2, N95 and FFP3 protection and which can also be washable and have active antimicrobial properties.

A mask assembly having antimicrobial properties is provided. The mask is preferably worn on a user's face and it comprises a material layer, preferably a polyester fabric, and an applied emulsion or combination of chemical components (a silver containing stabilized solution and a phosphorescent compound). The combination provides enhanced antimicrobial properties in the mask via the silver containing stabilized solution and the phosphorescent compound, which emits a controlled field around the mask of microbe destroying UV-C radiation, preferably in the 200-290 nm wavelength range. The emulsion may be applied to other surfaces wherever antimicrobial properties are desired.

The invention relates to a textile protective material, in particular providing protection against radioactive harmful and/or toxic substances and/or against biological harmful and/or toxic substances and/or against chemical harmful and/or toxic substances, preferably a textile adsorption filter material, and to a method for the production thereof. The textile protective material is suitable in particular for producing protective equipment and protective objects and filters and filter materials of all types.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to an adjustable face mask including a body formed of one or more panels of material, and includes one or more sets of ear apertures. The face mask can include an outer set of ear apertures disposed further from a central vertical axis and an inner set of ear apertures disposed closer to the central vertical axis. A user can select the set of ear apertures that is most comfortable for insertion of the ears to secure the face mask to the user's face. The adjustable face mask can be formed from a single piece of material without any need for sewing, stitching, or the like. The face mask can further include one or more materials that display one of antimicrobial properties, moisture absorbent properties, moisture wicking properties, or water repellent properties.

In an embodiment, an athletic garment is provided including a front panel and a rear panel, a waistband portion disposed at an upper portion of the garment, a first opening for receiving a torso of a user, a second opening for receiving a first leg of a user and a third opening for receiving a second leg of a user; and a crotch panel disposed between the front and rear panel, extending from the second opening to the third opening. The crotch panel comprises a tri-layered substrate to conceal and prevent visible staining of a fluid received therein. The tri-layered substrate may include a first layer of a first material, a second layer of a second material, and a third layer of a third material.

The disclosure provides a composite protective material for epidemic prevention of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and a preparation method thereof. The composite protective material for epidemic prevention of COVID-19 comprises a support layer, a nanofiber antibacterial layer and a skin friendly layer which are successively arranged from outside to inside, wherein the nanofiber antibacterial layer comprises at least one layer of hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber non-woven fabric loaded with graphene modified by diisocyanate and at least one layer of carboxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber non-woven fabric loaded with graphene modified by polyethylene polyamine, wherein the hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber non-woven fabric and the carboxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber non-woven fabric are condensed and crosslinked to form a penetrating network; the graphene modified by diisocyanate and the terminal hydroxyl of the hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber or amino of polyethylene polyamine form chemical bonding, the amino of polyethylene polyamine and the terminal carboxyl of the carboxyl terminated hyperbranched polyester nanofiber or isocyanate of diisocyanate form chemical bonding, thereby endowing dacron fabrics with excellent antibacterial property, chemical property and air permeability.

An article of apparel is formed that is effective to regulate the temperature of the wearer. In an embodiment, a textile substrate is obtained, and a thermal regulation composition is applied to a surface of the textile substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a coated textile substrate. The coated textile substrate is dried to form a thermal regulation membrane disposed on the surface of the textile substrate, and the textile substrate with the thermal regulation membrane is compressed at a second pressure and a second temperature to position a portion of the thermal regulation membrane below the surface of the textile substrate. The textile substrate is incorporated into an article of apparel. The thermal regulation composition can include one or more system reactive components provided within a binder, where a system reactive components can include a cooling agent, a latent heat agent and/or a heat dissipation agent.

The present application relates to an elastomeric article, such as a glove, comprising: (i) an elastomeric film comprising one or more film layers, and including an external surface and an internal surface, (ii) an antimicrobial agent that is effective against both beneficial and harmful microorganisms on the external surface of the elastomeric film, and (iii) a skin-protective agent selected from a probiotic, a prebiotic, or a combination thereof on the internal surface of the elastomeric film; wherein the inner surface of the film is free of an antimicrobially-effective amount of an antimicrobial agent that is effective against both beneficial and harmful microorganisms. The elastomeric articles may further comprise a barrier film layer that provides separation between the antimicrobial agent and the skin-protective agent. Also described are methods for the manufacture of such articles.

An anti-microbial glove is presented that includes a palm side and a back-side joined to the palm-side. A thenar panel on the palm-side extends into an index finger part, a middle finger part, a ring finger part, and a pinky finger part. A thumb panel on the palm-side extends into a thumb part. A wrist panel is attached to a first portion of the thumb panel and to a first portion of the thenar panel on the palm-side, at least a section of the wrist panel being attached to the back-side of the glove. A gusset joins the palm-side to the back-side. Anti-microbial materials are disposed on the palm-side and the back-side preventing the spreading and collection of microogranisms and/or viruses on the palm-side and back-side.
