• Abstract:

  In everyday life we ​​use clothes, fabrics that are flat and flexible; knits that fit better to our body and the well-known non-wovens (NT), but recently textiles have gone beyond clothing and have become essential in the fight against the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 as raw material for making masks, and in the production of equipment. protective equipment (PPE) resulting in a high demand for non-woven fabrics. In this scenario, many doubts arose in relation to textile products for protection against the virus, in view of that, the textile industry became the focus of research and comments about its needs, raising questions such as: Which textile material is ideal for protection against coronavirus? To answer these questions, it is necessary to understand how the textile chain takes place as a whole, from the formation of a thread, a fiber, a fabric, a mesh and the non-woven, as well as the processing. In order to identify the contributions of non-woven fabrics for use in the manufacture of PPE products, as protection against the virus, the non-woven flag, built in the Tecidoteca project, is presented. It brings an image of the right side / reverse side and non-woven roll, the technical sheet, as well as the application of use and market segment.
