DELTRIAN
" Deltrian has developed four complete production lines for surgical masks (production and packaging) which will be operational in Fleurus from the end of May 2020. Deltrian will produce 160 surgical masks per minute following a work divided into two breaks. That is a total of 60 million masks per year. A shift to three breaks could even increase production to 90 million masks per year. In response to a request from the federal government and together with the company Sioen (Ardooie, West Flanders), Deltrian will also have the task of producing 20 million filters that will be used to improve the quality of cloth masks that will be compulsory to wear on public transport from 4 May 2020. This is part of a desire to repatriate certain know-how to Wallonia and is an integral part of the Region's reindustrialisation strategy. "

Coris BioConcept
" Early February we started the development of a rapid antigen detection assay for SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-19 Ag Respi-Strip Assay was validated in three University hospital laboratories and registered (CE mark) by end of March. The test is designed as a first line triage assay to be used for rapid (15 minutes) detection of SARS-CoV-2 on symptomatic patients. We are currently developing a serological assay that targets the immune response against several antigens of the virus. "

Malcourant Mécanique
" We have developed a semi-automatic machine to weld polyethylene sheets in order to make the COVID-19 protective mask envelope. This development has been carried out entirely in-house, study - manufacture - assembly. We called the company ICS to improve the working conditions for the welding jaws. "

Innovative Coating Solutions
" Within the framework of mask making, ICS has been contacted by the company Malcourant (GBLX) which developed special machines to produce polymer (Polyethylene) based masks. The process requires thermal welding of polymer foils. That process happens around 170°C, in between two pressed and heated jaws. Unfortunately, adhesion of the polyethylene on either Al or Cu jaw is observed. ICS develops special coatings and made available a carbon based coating that prevents the adhesion on the jaw, but allow also multiple cycles of heating/cooling. These coatings have been successfully applied on the aluminium and copper prototypes. They exhibit very good adhesion, and prevent the polyethylene sticking on the jaws even after a large number of cycles. No delamination has been observed so far. "
