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)
.
The PAPR is a type of respirator widely used around the world that provides frontline healthcare workers with a high level of protection from viruses such as COVID-19
.
The battery-powered PAPR purifies polluted air through a filter mounted on the PAPR blower unit, which delivers clean air into the wearer's hood via a lightweight breathing hose
.
BioThane is a North Ridgeville, Ohio-based manufacturer of coated webbing belts that hold PAPR battery packs
.
Ethan Bron, President of BioThane, said: "We have served the medical and safety markets for decades and sincerely appreciate the dedication of those on the front lines
.
Tony Hankins, president of Huntsman Polyurethanes, added: "We are delighted to be joining the fight against COVID-19 and proud to be a valued supplier to BioThane
