ARVIND ANTI-VIRAL FABRICS

ARVIND TO OFFER ANTI-VIRAL FABRICS

Arvind Ltd., a textile-to-retail conglomerate, has entered into technical collaboration with Swiss textile innovator HeiQ Materials AG and Taiwanese speciality major JIntex Corporation to introduce anti-viral Viro-block textile technology for the first time in India under its brand Intellifabrix

Using this technology, Arvind will offer shirting and suiting fabrics, readymade garments and face masks in India

HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 : It is an intelligent Swiss textile technology that is added to the fabric during the final stage of the textile manufacturing process

HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 is among the first textile technologies in the world to be proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory

HeiQ Viroblock is designed to inhibit the growth and persistence of bacteria and enveloped viruses on textile surfaces

HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 is a unique combination of registered silver technology for antiviral and antibacterial effect and vesicle technology as a booster

The silver technology attracts the oppositely charged viruses and binds permanently to their sulfur groups. Subsequently, the fatty spherical vesicle technology helps to deplete the viral membrane of its cholesterol content in minutes. Therefore, the silver can destroy the virus rapidly

Suitable for all fibre types, from medical nonwovens (e.g. face masks) to fabrics for clothing and home textiles

Hypoallergenic, provides self-sanitizing and germ resistant surface

Washable fabrics: Lasts at least 30 gentle washes at 60°C (140°F).
