Which is a use of Sontora?

• A. Roofing substrates
• B. Medical gowns
• C. Soundproofing panels
• D. Insulated jackets

Answer: (B)

Sontora is a disposable nonwoven fabric designed to provide a liquid barrier while staying soft and breathable. In healthcare, this combination makes it ideal for medical gowns, which must protect wearers from fluids and pathogens while remaining comfortable for extended wear and easy to discard after use to reduce infection risk. Other uses require different properties—roofing substrates need structural strength and weather resistance, soundproofing panels demand materials with strong acoustic absorption, and insulated jackets require substantial thermal insulation and windproofing—features that a disposable nonwoven like Sontora doesn’t provide.
