ACE plays a critical role in combatting Covid-19 across the world

Fact: The terrible virus that has invaded our world and changed our way of life has triggered a boom in demand for safe single-use protective clothing for healthcare workers in the thick of the crisis.

It is of no great surprise then that demand for the Gownace range of laminates has rocketed – and forecasts show that this will continue way past year-end.

Traditionally, surgical gowns are reinforced in critical areas, leaving the rest of the fabric ‘as is’. Gownace 72, is an impermeable yet breathable three-layer laminate that is designed for the manufacture of a gown that needs no additional reinforcing. As a fabric that meets the norm EN 13795 (high performance critical area), it naturally delivers a secure barrier throughout the entire garment, whilst providing excellent comfort via its intrinsic breathability.

“The demand for Gownace is global,” says Christoph Lentz, Business Development Director at ACE. “The challenge is now keeping up supplies whilst nonwoven capacities are tight around the world due to increased mask manufacturing for the general public. However, our team is doing a great job in securing the supply chain and we are confident that Gownace will continue to play an important role in the protection of healthcare workers on the front line of Covid-19”
