August 31, 2004 -- OLD HICKORY, Tenn., USA -- Jobwerx News
-- New medical fabrics from DuPont™ are designed to provide high-level
protection without compromising comfort for the healthcare industry.
DuPont has opened a new $130 million facility in Tennessee to produce
innovative nonwoven fabrics born from a revolutionary composite technology.
Suprel™ is the first in a series of next generation fabrics from
DuPont™ that go "Beyond Protection" to meet the evolving needs
of the healthcare industry.
More than 20 manufacturing patents were developed by DuPont™ for
this proprietary Advanced Composite Technology. ACT blends the ideal
properties of two different raw materials to create nonwoven fabrics
that meet specific needs. Supreltm is the only medical fabric available
that is made of polyester - for strength - and polyethylene - for silk-like
softness.
After working closely with operating room nurses who participated in
comfort studies conducted at North Carolina State University, Dupont
researchers developed Suprel™ for the medical industry. This innovative,
high-technology fabric features a silky smooth texture with less surface
friction than competitive products, allowing for greater comfort and
freedom of movement. It transfers heat away from the body quickly and
is made from continuous filament fibers and is very low linting allowing
for greater comfort and freedom of movement.
The ACT facility is located at DuPont's Old Hickory, Tennessee manufacturing
complex, near Nashville and will produce 110 jobs.
