- Medical Gowns Application Data
Surgical gowns and drapes are critical pieces of equipment in hospitals. They need to provide the medical staff and patients with a high level of protection against bacterial and viral infections. Research shows that 1 in 10 hospitalized patients will acquire an infection after admission. That is why infection control is a key topic. Arnitel® VT is a very flexible and breathable material that, when made into membranes just a few microns thick, is 100% waterproof, highly breathable and very comfortable. Arnitel® VT is also lightweight and offers good stretch properties with its 500% elasticity. Gowns manufactured with the Arnitel® VT technology finally provide the surgeon with 100% protection against viruses and bacteria without loss of comfort.; Arnitel® TPC allows for very sustainable solutions, since it is PFC free and 100% recyclable; Arnitel® TPC allows for very comfortable and reliable solutions due to its high breathability and 100% waterproof performance under all circumstances (unlike perforated membranes) and since it forms a 100% barrier against fluids, bacteria and even viruses.

- Roofing Membranes Application Data
Arnitel® TCP is a high-performance thermoplastic copolyester and a reliable roofing solution as it outperforms conventional microporous membranes. The VT series — VT3108, VT3104 and VT3118 — are increasingly used as lighter, smarter, greener alternatives to conventional rubbers as they reduce environmental impact and system costs. They maximize energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint in new buildings. Arnitel®'s processing is cost-effective compared to roofing membranes made from thermoplastic polyurethane.
