PNB Housing Finance (PNBHFL) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to support critical research and development (R&D)
This will support R&D of a unique prototype material to be used in manufacturing sustainable personal protective equipment (PPE) surgical gowns and masks. These will then be supplied to notable government hospitals
Through this MoU, PNBHFL will support the Department of Textile and Fibre Engineering, IIT Delhi in fast-tracked R&D of high-quality PPE material. The cloth technology developed under this initiative will help in producing affordable, sustainable and reusable PPEs

The prototype will be tested at government-accredited labs. The main objective of the current research is designing and developing critical PPE face masks and surgical gowns using Jacquard knitting technology
The knit construction for the mask will be optimised for a secure 3D-fit around the face with a layer of melt-blown, nonwoven material in between ensuring efficient filtration/barrier protection with good breathability
For the gown, the fabric and lamination process can be engineered in achieving a stretchable, non-permeable gown adhering to international standards
