Hahnemühle is supporting customers and employees worldwide by donating the specially developed mouth and nose covers made of high-purity filter paper in an international sponsoring campaign. Hahnemühle is donating 159,505 HaMuNa® Care disposable masks for the reopening of schools, universities, public authorities, associations, shops and other institutions — one mouth-nose cover for every day of the company’s almost 437-year history.
“Every school, every public authority, everyone has to implement a hygiene concept when reopening in times of the coronavirus pandemic in order to protect employees and visitors in the best possible way. Our disposable paper masks are ideal for this. They directly absorb droplets that escape from the mouth and nose when speaking, sneezing or coughing and thus protect other people from infections,” explains Dr. Barbara Born, Head of Development & Quality Assurance Hahnemühle Group.
With its expertise in rapid and customer-specific development of papers and life science applications, Hahnemühle has developed a sustainable mouth and nose cover made of filter paper within a very short time frame. The HaMuNa® Care masks are made of 100% natural raw materials and are manufactured without any other composites. The material is breathable and comfortable, enabling easy breathing. The optimal fit can be individually adjusted — even for spectacle wearers. The paper, which acts similar to an antiviral, absorbs droplet secretions directly in front of the mouth and nose, thus reducing the multiplication and spread of coronaviruses, including COVID-19, and other airborne diseases. HaMuNa® Care masks are skin-friendly and meet the strict standards for papers developed for food use. The disposable masks can be worn for several hours.
“Together with the digital print packaging experts of the German company Thimm, we have developed a display for the HaMuNa® Care packs. These displays can be placed in the entrance area of schools, authorities, shops etc. Visitors can remove a disposable mask from the display for use. These displays are also sustainably made of sturdy corrugated board and can be printed individually for customers,” adds Jan Wölfle, CEO Hahnemühle Group.
With the international sponsoring campaign of 159,505 HaMuNa® Care masks, Hahnemühle is supporting the social commitment of its employees in institutions and associations, as well as supporting customers worldwide to reopen for business following the easing of restrictions.
