A start-up based in Ambala, NUFAB Technical Textiles Pvt. Ltd. announced that it has developed a unique non-woven fabric useful in making coveralls which will significantly reduce the infection risk to frontline medical workers, and can help in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new fabric is soft, comfortable, light weight, impregnable, permeable and above all breathable, which will help frontline medical workers immensely by reducing the infection risk by up to 90 per cent.
The value-added fabric is certified and approved by DRDO and is extremely useful in making coverall gowns.
