Helping users return to work 09 July 2020

HellermannTyton has developed a range of new products to help users return to work, in response to the easing of restrictions in regards to Covid-19.

To help reduce the transmission of the virus, HellermannTyton is offering additional products for factories, warehouse as well as for offices and home working. The Mask E-Guard and EasyDoorTM have both been designed to help make the work place safer.

Firstly the Mask E-Guard is designed to relieve tension and strain from the ears when wearing face masks. The design attaches to the mask so the elastic is positioned away from the ears and one size fits all. It is made of a soft, smooth material, which is both comfortable and easy to clean. The Mask E-Guard is reusable, and ideal for use with disposable masks.

Also now available, the EasyDoor can be considered as PPE, which protects both the user and people around by limiting hand transmission of bacteria. A user can use EasyDoor to open door handles, switch on lights etc, and eliminates the need to touch the surface.

An antimicrobial additive has been incorporated into the formulation of the plastic to manufacture EasyDoor. This silver-based additive has antibacterial and antifungal properties, removing 99% of bacteria in 2 hours. This additive has shown good performance on the respiratory H1N1 virus. It is also reusable and easy to clean, helping to prevent the spread of bacteria. Being lightweight, it is easy to transport and is able to clip to a belt, saving space.
