Published purpose

Covid 19 has resulted in a global shortage of PPE and raw materials to manufacture. Foreign materials are on allocation and difficult to source. Fidelity plans to identify, test and develop manufacturing techniques for alternative materials that could be used in substitute or to replace traditional ones that can be 100% sourced in Canada. The target is to meet ASTM standards for level 1 masks for particle filtration, bacterial filtration, air flow, blood resistance, flammability and comfort. The project will run simultaniously to the manufacture of standard masks and an onsite lab will be created in order to test. This is the first lab federally in Canada and provincially in Alberta that can perform this testing.
