US' SWM launches Delpore advanced filtration media for facemasks

Delpore Advanced Filtration Media allows for better airflow and breathability and is considered ideal for all day comfortable wear while maintaining key performance features. SWM also offers Delnet apertured film, a lightweight nonwoven that is extruded, oriented, and uniquely embossed for use as a flexible surface layer for medical face masks or as a comfort barrier in finger bandages, the company said in a press release.

“We have diversified our facemask offerings to provide various materials that have greater than 95 per cent efficiency for standard flow rates. With our Delpore Advanced Filtration Media, N95 material can now be produced with a basis weight reduction of up to 30 per cent. This reduction provides a more economic option for consumers, as well as increased comfort for all-day wear,” Bart Sistrunk, SWM’s commercial director – filtration, said in a statement.
