The two most prominent manufacturers of hazmat suits are the 3M Co. and E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., aka DuPont. “DuPont Protection Technologies has been collaborating with organizations like WHO and Medecins Sans Frontieres, MSF, [Doctors Without Borders] since the onset of the outbreak to make available to them our personal protective garments,” DuPont Protection Technologies representative Sandra James said.

“We have already tripled production of our most relevant products for the treatment of infected patients,” James wrote via email. “We have also worked hard to shift product stocks geographically and made available a broader range of styles suitable for various treatment levels.”

3M has donated almost 1 million respirators to help with the Ebola response, while DuPont has absorbed more than $250,000 in air-freight charges to help treatment facilities get up and running on the ground in Africa, according to company officials.

“We are keeping up, we’re meeting the needs of the requests,” 3M representative Donna Fleming Runyon told IBTimes Friday. “We’re continuing to work with our nonprofit partners and keeping up with their requests.”
