It can be washed and used many times in the summer heat as part of the fight against the new type of coronavirus. antibacterial Features heat, moisture and air permeability "comfortable" Bursa Technology Coordination and R&D Center (BUTEKOM) supports textile companies for the development of masks.
Playing an important role in the Covid-19 process BUTEKOMwas established in 2008 to increase the competition of companies, especially in the textile sector, and to provide training and consultancy services.
BUTEKOM has recently been working on the production of washable, antibacterial surgical masks and has carried out a wide range of tests. technical consultancy offers the service. Two of the companies to which the center provides technical consultancy have completed the certification process of these masks and moved on to the export phase.
BUTEKOM Project Consultant and Director of Bursa Uludağ University (BUÜ) Technical Sciences Vocational School Prof. Dr. Mehmet KarahanHe stated that one of the most important measures in the fight against Covid-19 is to make the mask mandatory in public areas.
Stating that the demand for masks will increase with the opening of closed workplaces and schools, Karahan continued his words as follows:
"Currently, there are very serious demands. Many companies are making investments, especially in three-layer masks, which we call 'surgical masks'. However, these masks are disposable and recommended to be changed during the day. Therefore, when we look at it from this perspective, it means consuming millions of masks daily. Therefore, as BUTEKOM, we have provided technical consultancy to companies regarding the production of cloth masks with antibacterial filtration features that can be washed and used instead of disposable masks, in order to contribute to this fight."
Karahan, especially June And July He stated that it would be more difficult to use masks during the months due to the heat, and that they provided consultancy with a technical package that included the comfort features of the mask. Karahan stated that they received applications from nearly 20 companies for the test, "Our tests aim to improve the product. We have made significant contributions to optimizing knitted and woven fabrics for filtration." he said.
'The mask can be washed and used 15 times'
Prof. emphasized that since masks are small-sized products, companies can produce millions of them. Dr. Karahan said that even a few facilities operating in the cloth mask business will significantly meet the need, especially in the domestic market. Karahan continued his speech as follows:
"It is extremely possible to reduce the environmental and economic impacts if these products, which are washed and used at least 15 times, replace the surgical mask. That is why, as BUTEKOM, we support these initiatives. The use of surgical masks can be uncomfortable, especially in the summer months. Therefore, the use of cloth masks can offer comfortable use to the person in terms of comfort and ergonomics."
In mask use comfort Emphasizing Karahan, "We need to think about comfort in three ways. One is heat, that is, thermal permeability, the second is moisture permeability, and the third is air permeability. When one of these three is not performed well, it causes problems. This is valid for masks as well as for worn products. When you wear them, the air inside must be able to be expelled. We can test the masks with our comfort device." he said.
