Protective Textiles and formulations are ubiquitous these days whether in a hospital or a restroom environment. A good understanding of the importance of textiles and related materials for providing improvements in healthcare and personal protection is much needed for individuals in the textile and chemical industry.
This webinar will provide an overview of military textiles such as chem-bio suits, decontamination wipes, and medical textiles. New developments in these fields will be discussed. The overall aim of this webinar is to provide valuable information for new entrants to this field as well as provide new information, which will benefit textile and chemical industry professionals.
