Essentium, Inc., led by the company's COVID-19 Response Strategy Team, has been investigating how to best mobilize its resources and significant IP in materials and additive manufacturing production to aid in the fight against COVID-19. The company has designed, and it is now in production of a protective mask kit comprising a reusable 3D printed mask frame and filtration media. The first run of 500 masks will be delivered to the Pflugerville Police and Fire Department next week following an order from the City of Pflugerville's Pflugerville Community Development Corp. Thirty pilot units were delivered this week. As Essentium redirects resources to the production of this Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), it anticipates initial production capacity to be 5,000 units per week.

The Essentium reusable mask frame is made with material known as Essentium TPU74D (thermoplastic urethane) which allows for easy cleaning, and is used with a single-use, replaceable filtration media. The Essentium mask has been created for general non-medical use during COVID-19 epidemic, based on FDA Emergency Use Authorization.
