Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE September 30, 2014 at 15.00



Ahlstrom introduces Ahlstrom VaporCool(TM), dynamic SMS fabric for single-use
scrubs



Ahlstrom, a global high performance fiber-based materials company, introduces
Ahlstrom VaporCool(TM )a soft SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) fabric treated
with adaptive technology to create a smart fabric designed for conversion into
single-use surgical scrub suits.



Ahlstrom VaporCool(TM) is a soft, textile-like, dynamic fabric that offers
outstanding comfort. Worn in direct contact with the skin, the fabric works as
an extension of the wearers' body helping to regulate their body temperature.
When hot, the fabric boosts evaporation providing a cooling effect. When cool,
the fabric holds in moisture acting as an insulating layer.



The first fabric of its kind, VaporCool(TM) uses moisture management to offer
enhanced comfort to surgical professionals. Working under bright lights and
dressed in high-barrier surgical apparel, surgeons operate under intense
pressure for hours. These conditions cause their body temperature to rise,
increasing the production of sweat. Discomfort caused by feeling hot and sticky
can quickly shake concentration and impair cognitive abilities. Ahlstrom
VaporCool(TM )works with the body to relieve discomfort and improve
concentration.



For detailed information on Ahlstrom VaporCool(TM) and a video on how the
product works please visit www.ahlstrom.com/vaporcool or email
