TenderGuard BioBased can be used as an inner or outer coverstock layer of a civil face mask. It is highly breathable, biocompatible, and non-irritating, so it is gentle on the skin and comfortable to wear for long durations. Mainly comprised of polylactic acid, it is an alternative to synthetic spunbond material.  TenderGuard BioFilter is a sustainable filter media that can be used as a single layer or combined as a double layer. The fabric is 100% bio-based, made up of a special blend of cellulosic and cellulose-based man-made fibers.
TenderGuard Natural is a wetlaid fabric that can be used as the inner or outer layer of a face mask. It is environmentally friendly, and the hypoallergic inner layer makes it very soft for the wearer. With both layers together, it achieves nearly 50% bacterial filtration efficiency. TenderGuard Smooth consists of bicomponent spunbond fabrics that are made with a proprietary technology that minimizes raised fibers. This creates a smooth surface to help eliminate any skin irritation. TenderGuard Smooth is hypoallergenic, so it is gentle on the skin, making it ideal to wear for long durations.
