SMS
Ahlstrom SMS fabrics are available with antistatic and alcohol-repellent finishes. They deliver high fluid and particulate barrier and are soft, strong, and low in lint.

Breathable Viral Barrier (BVB)
Ahlstrom’s BVB™ fabric contains a monolithic breathable film that provides total barrier to viral, fluid, and particulate challenges. BVB™ fabrics are low in lint and comfortable/drapeable.

Film-Based Composites
Ahlstrom film-based composite fabrics are used where total barrier is required, usually as reinforcement. Fabrics are compatible with radiation, ethylene oxide, and gas plasma sterilization.
