    Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Huntsman has been producing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers for manufacturers of essential medical personal protective equipment (PPE) worldwide

    Huntsman's TPUs are used in the production of hospital gowns, masks, mattress covers, tubes, valves, cable jackets, and especially powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs)

    BioThane is a North Ridgeville, Ohio-based manufacturer of coated webbing belts that hold PAPR battery packs
