Instant Market Insights Through Video Conferences

McIlvaine is conducting video conferences to answer urgent questions facing suppliers and investors.  Bob McIlvaine acts as host and can bring over 50 years of experience in the air, water, energy and contamination control industries to bear. Since McIlvaine has very comprehensive services on Coronavirus Pharmaceutical and Technology Solutions Bob can offer unique insights on the impact of the virus on markets.

Discussions are enhanced with the instant display of markets, market shares and technology analysis for dozens of products. The McIlvaine scope has been international since its first exhibition in London Olympia at Filtration and Separation 1975 where it displayed knowledge systems. 

These systems have been expanded and placed on line with both universal and structured searches. This is a silo busting tool. The fate of viruses in cough droplets initially caught in inefficient masks could be of highest importance. The knowledge about capturing and re-emitting small non spherical particles with water droplets is the basis for industrial scrubbing and a McIlvaine knowledge system.

McIlvaine has a number of cleanroom publications tracking PPE, HVAC, and other products  which are directly relevant to the COVID problem. Continuing analysis of each industry in each country is provided and is a basis for many forecasts.

Challenges and Opportunities for Mask Suppliers Analyzed in August 20 Webinar

This webinar includes a discussion  major issues in mask selection. It includes a presentation by Wendover Brown of Vogmask followed by a discussion with contributions from Abhisek Saha of UCSD, Christine Sun of  WFI, Kari Lukkonnen of Fibertex, and Vladimir Paserin of VPM Research.  The challenge is to balance  wearer protection and wearer transmission.  Due the mounting evidence that much of the transmission is airborne  the needs for wearer protection are becoming paramount..  This risk is further  exacerbated by evidence that cloth masks act as aerosol generators for cough droplets after initial capture.  More analysis needs to be done on this important phenomenon.  UCSD has been doing considerable research on droplet evaporation and will be investigating the virus fate from cough droplets on surfaces and in media subjected to continuous air flow.

Vogmask is balancing the needs for air pollution and COVID  protection .  This includes comfort considerations  with varying degrees of exertion.  A unique design under development is a lock for a valved mask.  This will provide flexibility to better balance the need.

Nanofibers offer an attractive alternative to meltblowns.  Kari Lukkonnen answered some questions about performance and availability.  A number of new media options were discussed.  Bob Mcilvaine predicted a robust market for masks through 2025 based on increasing awareness of indoor and outdoor pollution threats,  the present viruses, the  delay in achieving a fully effective vaccine against COVID and the likelihood of new viruses or at least the threat of them.
