Brief Description

Description :

PPE is developed to minimize the use of synthetic polymers and substitute the same with reusable cloth-based layers, with a possibility to add-in a replaceable insert of an antimicrobial, filter-efficient, protective coating on fabrics. These coatings are realized through indigenously developed spray formulations, whose components are already tested for antimicrobial activity.
