Bandana With Filter
Prevent Wear
Hayden, Idaho
Prevent Wear's Prevent Bandana is the world's first bandana with a filter. The fabric is antimicrobial and made of flame-resistant cotton, and the filter is antimicrobial and made of antifungal medical-grade foam. Bacteria that land on the fabric will be killed and unable to colonize, preventing body odor from developing and aiding the wearer in preventing bacterial infection. The Bandana makes a great dust mask. Bacterial protection, respiratory protection, high visibility and facial warmth are some of the features of the fully washable and re-useable product.

Concrete and Mortar Removal
Tamarron Technology Inc.
Springboro, Ohio
Tamarron Technology's Tam Tech Concrete Removal reduces concrete and mortar build-up on mixers and equipment. First, the build-up is removed by scraping or air hammering at the end of the daily shift. Then, the Tam Tech Concrete Removal product is applied by low-pressure spray, providing a barrier on the mixer or equipment. This makes it harder for the concrete or mortar to build up, therefore making it easier to remove the remaining build-up at the end of the shift. The product is available in five-gallon pails, 55-gallion drums and 275-gallon totes.
