ILC Dover, the designer and manufacturer of NASA’s space suits and a wide range of engineered film and fabric products, announced its  NanoPac  flexible containment system, which exceeds new NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety) standards for nanoparticle containment.

As nanotechnology continues to expand into every industrial sector, workers may be at an increased risk of exposure to new nanomaterials.

“Our systems offer the most cost effective containment solutions available while maintaining a clean manufacturing area with reduced particulate contamination, said Alan George , new business development manager, industrial containment at ILC Dover. “We also offer customized systems, which support specific applications and adapt readily to any type of processing equipment. As the nanotechnology industry realizes its potential, ILC Dover will be there to provide the containment and control needed by this community.”
