Antiviral Finish

Thinking about the urgency of more resources that advance in the fight against the Corona Virus, Santanense went in search of the highest technology available on the market, presenting to its customers and partners, the new Antiviral Finish.

Fabrics can serve both as a protective material and as routes for the proliferation and transmission of viruses, fungi and bacteria. Therefore, to turn fabrics into true barriers to protect the skin against contaminated liquids and secretions, it is necessary that these fabrics receive the appropriate finishes.

For the manufacture of masks, clothing and accessories with a high level of protection, Santanense developed the Antiviral Finishing. Fabrics that receive the Antiviral Finish, created through nanotechnology, are able to act directly on infectious microorganisms, neutralizing them, ensuring the integrity and natural balance of the skin in just 2 minutes.

Antiviral Finishing is essential to turn fabric masks into high individual protection articles. Since masks are potential vectors for the spread of microorganisms. Before, during or after their use, there is always a risk of contamination when picking up, putting on, adjusting, removing or discarding the masks.

Santanense's Antiviral Finishing was developed through AG+FRESH by NANOX Technology – Textile Nanotechnology. NNXC Ag+Fresh Hybrid is a formula that uses a silver complex stabilized with water-based organic compounds, which inhibits the growth and proliferation of bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Its application is indicated on surfaces with potential for disease vectors, such as fabrics.

The results obtained through the analysis of tests on samples were able to demonstrate that the product did not induce any process of photosensitizing and photoirritant and also did not induce any process of primary dermal irritability, accumulated dermal irritability or sensitization. The product is safe for topical use in accordance with the ANVISA Guide, 2012.

ISO 18184 – 99.9% reduction of Sars-CoV-2 in 2 minutes.

AATCC 100 – 99.9% reduction in Bacteria and Fungi.

Always important to remember that, even using Santanense fabrics with Antiviral Finish, all preventive measures indicated by the World Health Organization - WHO, are valid. Social distancing, proper use of masks, constant asepsis of the environment and hands, avoiding touching the face and other measures are very important in containing contagious diseases, especially COVID-19.
