Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Fidelity Machine & Mould Solutions Inc
$100,000.00
PPE Made in Canada
FY 2020-21 · 2020-08-01
Summary
Covid 19 has resulted in a global shortage of PPE and raw materials to manufacture. Foreign materials are on allocation and difficult to source. Fidelity plans to identify, test and develop manufacturing techniques for alternative materials that could be used in substitute or to replace traditional ones that can be 100% sourced in Canada. The target is to meet ASTM standards for level 1 masks for particle filtration, bacterial filtration, air flow, blood resistance, flammability and comfort. The project will run simultaniously to the manufacture of standard masks and an onsite lab will be created in order to test. This is the first lab federally in Canada and provincially in Alberta that can perform this testing.

Description
Covid 19 has resulted in a global shortage of PPE and raw materials to manufacture. Foreign materials are on allocation and difficult to source.

Description (French)
La Covid-19 a entraîné une pénurie mondiale d'EPI et de matières premières à fabriquer. Les matières étrangères sont en cours d'attribution et difficiles à obtenir. Fidelity prévoit de déterminer, de tester et de mettre au point des techniques de fabrication pour des matériaux de substitution qui pourraient être utilisés en remplacement ou pour remplacer les matériaux traditionnels qui peuvent être obtenus à 100 % au Canada. L'objectif est de répondre aux normes ASTM pour les masques de niveau 1 pour la filtration des particules, la filtration bactérienne, la circulation de l'air, la résistance du sang, l'inflammabilité et le confort. Le projet se déroulera simultanément à la fabrication de masques standard et un laboratoire sur place sera créé afin de procéder à des essais. Il s'agit du premier laboratoire au niveau fédéral au Canada et au niveau provincial en Alberta qui peut effectuer ces tests.
