Researchers at the STFI have developed a bio-based and biodegradable textile composite for particle-filtering respirators, as well as a novel, environmentally friendly antiviral finish for it.
An eco-friendly, flame-retardant, abrasion-resistant and segmented protective coating, including a backing material, for fire-fighting clothing and for personal and occupational safety.
The chitosan-based textile finishes proved to be highly biodegradable, but still have shortcomings in terms of certain functionalities and durability.
