Umbiko Wemakethe Yendwangu Engalukiwe Yezokwelapha: Ukuqhubekela Phambili

Umqedazwe we-COVID-19 ulethe ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezingalukiwe njengeI-MeltblownfuthiI-Spunbonded Nonwoven ekukhanyeni kwezakhiwo zabo eziphakeme zokuzivikela. Lezi zinto zibalulekile ekukhiqizeni imaski,imaski yezokwelapha, futhiimaski yokuzivikela nsuku zonke. Isidingo sama-nonwovens senyuke kakhulu, kepha ukubaluleka kwawo embonini yezokunakekelwa kwempilo sekuneminyaka eminingi. Ama-nonwoven alahlwayo kancane kancane athathe indawo yezindwangu zezokwelapha ezisebenziseka kabusha ezinhlelweni ezifana nezokwelaphaimpahla yokuzivikela izingubo zokugqoka, ama-drapes okuhlinzwa, nezifihla-buso. Lolu shintsho luqhutshwa amandla aphezulu okungena e-antimicrobial esetshenziswa kanyekanye ama-nonwovens ezokwelapha uma kuqhathaniswa nezinto ezingasetshenziswa kabusha.

Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, cishe isiguli esisodwa kwezingu-31 esibhedlela sizoba okungenani isifo esisodwa esitholwa esibhedlela nganoma yiluphi usuku. Umqedazwe wezifo ezitholwa esibhedlela ungabambezela kakhulu ukululama, ukhuphule izindleko zokulaliswa esibhedlela, futhi kwezinye izimo uholele ekufeni, kuyilapho kubiza izikhungo zezempilo izigidigidi zamaRandi unyaka ngamunye. Ngenxa yalokho, izibhedlela manje zihlola "izindleko zokusetshenziswa" lapho zithenga izinto zokwelapha/zomuntu siqu zokuzivikela, kucatshangelwa umthelela wesikhathi eside esibhedlela esilaphayo. Imikhiqizo ye-substrate engabizi kakhulu ebiza kakhulu, esebenza kahle kakhulu inamandla okunciphisa izifo ezitholwa esibhedlela kanye nezindleko zazo, ngaleyo ndlela yehlise zonke izindleko zokusebenzisa.

U-Hartmann, umkhiqizi wemikhiqizo yezempilo nenhlanzeko, uhamba phambili ekuthuthukiseni imikhiqizo yezokwelapha engalukiwe ehlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okukabili ezigulini nabasebenzi bezokwelapha. Uhla lwenkampani lwemikhiqizo yezokwelapha engalukiwe, okuhlanganisa ama-drapes okuhlinzwa,izingubo zokuzivikela zezokwelaphanamamaski, abeka phambili ukuvikelwa kwesiguli. Baqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo yabo ihambisana ngokugcwele nezindinganiso zaseYurophu zemikhiqizo yezokwelapha neyokuvikela, okuhlanganisaI-FFP2imaski yezinga yethulwe ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwe-COVID-19. Isidingo sisonke sama-nonwovens wezokwelapha sesibuyele emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane, ngaphandle kwamamaski, asathintwa ezinye izinguquko zokusungula.

Ukuqhubekela phambili, isidingo sokuhlunga kanye nemaski kulindeleke ukuthi sikhule esikhathini esizayo. UPhil Mango, ongumeluleki we-nonwovens kwaSmithers, ulindele ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwemaski kukhuphuke ngo-10% kusuka emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane. Lokhu kukhula kubangelwe ukuchayeka kwabantu okuvamile, ukutholakala/inani, kanye nezinkinga ezikhulayo zekhwalithi yomoya emhlabeni jikelele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu emazweni athuthukile baya ngokuya bethanda ukusebenzisa imaski ngezizathu zempilo. Ngakho-ke, imboni yezokunakekelwa kwempilo ezifundeni ezifana ne-United States, Canada, China, Japan, kanye ne-European Union kulindeleke ukuthi ifakazele ukukhula eminyakeni ezayo. Lokhu kukhombisa umkhondo omuhle wemboni ye-nonwovens kanye nokubaluleka kwayo ezinhlelweni zezokwelapha.

Ukufingqa, izinto ezingalukiwe ezifana ne-MeltblownOkungalukiwefuthi SpunbondedOkungalukiweseziphenduke izinto ezibalulekile embonini yezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Ukushintshela kuma-nonwoven alahlwayo ezinhlelweni zezokwelapha kungenxa yamandla azo aphezulu okungena ngama-antimicrobial kanye namandla azo okunciphisa izifo ezitholwa esibhedlela kanye nezindleko ezihambisanayo. Izinkampani ezinjengoHartmann zihamba phambili ekuthuthukiseni imikhiqizo yezokwelapha engalukiwe ebeka phambili ukuvikelwa kwesiguli. Ngokukhula okulindelekile kwesidingo sokuhluzwa kanye nemaski, imboni ye-nonwovens ikulungele ukukhula kanye nokuqhubeka nokuqamba okusha.
