Durban-based packaging and materials handling designer and manufacturer Conceptainer has responded to government’s call for assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic and now supplies a full range of personal protection equipment (PPE) to enhance safety in the workplace.

“The company’s range of locally-manufactured PPE encompasses non-medical facemasks, ambidextrous gloves, face shields, disposable coveralls and hand and surface sanitisers, including sanitiser fogger cans for offices and classrooms. All these products meet stringent quality specifications for safe use in various sectors,” explains Conceptainer sales manager Ian Gallie.

“In line with it now being mandatory for everyone to wear a facemask in the workplace and in public areas, we supply washable three-ply fabric facemasks, designed to offer protection against the highly infectious Covid-19 virus.”

Protective three-ply surgical-style face masks for civilian use, are produced from Spun-Bond 25 micron spandex materials. The white polypropylene material is cotton-stitched with lightweight, elasticated straps. These face-coverings have a close-fitting design which provides comfort during extended periods of use. Conceptainer’s re-usable, non-medical facemasks are available in packs of 40.

Powder-free, non-latex gloves, with a dependable biological barrier, offer good resilience when stretched, to fit all hand sizes. These disposable gloves are designed for single use and are available in boxes of 50 units.

Disposable coveralls provide the same degree of protection as standard washable coveralls, without the need to decontaminate them after use. These protective coverings, which are quick and easy to put on and take off, are manufactured in all sizes. For optimum protection, it is fitted with a hood, elasticated wrists and ankles and a zip fastening.
