More Information
Summary:The invention provides a novel method for producing an antitoxic nonwoven fabric by molecularly grafting the antitoxic molecule thereto. The method comprises immersing a fibrous media comprising a material having a melt flow index of less than 150 MFI in a stable antitoxin solution comprising an antitoxin, preferably triiodide. The wet media is processed through rollers, thereby forcing the antitoxic molecule (e.g., iodine) to penetrate the media. The wet media is dried, and the fabric isolated therefrom. The invention further provides products incorporating the antitoxic media formed by this molecularly grafting method, including a wound dressing, surgical drape, privacy curtain, facemask, gown, article of protective clothing, shoe covering, hair covering, air filter, medical tape, and wipe.
