At the webinar on “ Global Epidemic Control:Challenges and Opportunities for Medical Plastic Manufacturing” held on 22-23 June 2020 and organised by Ringier Events, Mr. Daniel Tanzil, the Country Manager of Milliken Indonesia presented on Milliken’s innovative additive solutions for various sectors like packaging and medical/healthcare, with emphasis on the role of advanced material solutions in epidemic control.
Additive innovations in epidemic control

The presentation began with an overview of the ASEAN region and how the region has been suffering from the rapid spread of the coronavirus. The travel restrictions and lockdown situations have somewhat eased but social distancing has been the new norm. The demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) has been sustained, owing to the need for safety and precautionary measures in order to avoid contamination.

Milliken has leveraged its unique capabilities to help produce needed medical PPEs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. For the production of protective face shields, manufacturers offer the readily available polypropylene plastic. The material, however, is naturally hazy, so plastic manufacturers are turning to Milliken and the company’s NX® UltraClear™ polypropylene concentrate to produce plastics with clarity levels suitable for healthcare industry face shields.
