Consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased 29.8% to $41.9 million from $59.7 million in the comparable period of 2009. This decrease consisted of decreased sales in the Infection Control and Disposable Protective Apparel segments, offset primarily by increased sales in the Building Supply segment.
Sales for the Disposable Protective Apparel segment for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased 27.5% to $16.5 million, compared to $22.7 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of disposable apparel to our former largest distributor, partially offset by increased sales to a broader based distribution network and in particular to the international supply chain partner mentioned above.
Building Supply segment sales for the full year ended December 31, 2010 increased by 26.8% to $19.4 million, compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2009. The segment increase was primarily due to a 21.2% increase in sales of REX SynFelt synthetic roof underlayment and a 40.4% increase in sales of REX Wrap housewrap. The sales mix of the Building Supply segment for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 69% for synthetic roof underlayment and 31% for housewrap. This compared to 72% for synthetic roof underlayment and 28% for housewrap for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Infection Control segment sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased by 72.1% to $6.1 million compared to $21.7 million for the same period in 2009. Mask sales were down by 76.9% to $4.0 million, and shield sales were down by 62.8% to $1.4 million.
The overall mask sales decrease for the full year of 2010 was primarily due to the surge in N-95 respirator mask sales that commenced in the second quarter of 2009 due to concerns regarding an outbreak of the H1N1 Influenza A virus. Shield sales were down primarily due to approximately $1.3 million in shields being shipped in 2009 from the total $1.7 million non-recurring shield order received in the fourth quarter of 2008 and also due to the H1N1 Influenza A pandemic.
