Lamberti coordinates Dotmask project
Development of new masks and screens with natural additives that protect against viruses and bacteria
The DOTMASK project explores new coatings and plastics obtained from botanical extracts applicable to personal protective equipment.
The goal of the project is to develop Personal Protective Equipment (EPIs) such as face masks and screens with viricidal, bactericidal and fungicidal capacity for fronte protection to the COVID epidemic-19 and the risk to healthcare-related infections (IRAS).
The project is being implemented by a consortium made up of AIMPLAS, the companies Lamberti, Airnatech and ADM Biopolis, and the La Fe Hospital Health Research Institute.
The Generalitat Valenciana, through the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI), finances the development of face masks and screens equipped with antimicrobial properties capable of preventing infections and infections by viruses and bacteria, even those resistant to drugs. To this end, new coatings and plastics obtained from botanical extracts that improve the attributes of current personal protective equipment (PPE) are being explored.
