STOCKHOLM, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In a press
conference today, Polygiene announced it is developing a new
formula which will provide testable lifetime of garment viral
reduction.
Even after 30 washes, the ViralOff+ treated products will reduce
more than 99% of the viruses in two hours. The new formula will not
be available until later in the fall, with no set date, as
laboratory test availability and other factors are hard to predict
during the ongoing crisis.
"Today, there is some confusion in the market since some
claims to washability in fact relies on tests that are not
antiviral, but antibacterial", says Daniel Röme, Chief
Technology Officer of Polygiene. "While some applications can be
washed gently, handwashed, or lasts a few tougher machine washes,
very few clearly claim they can achieve the rigors of proper
antiviral testing after 20 or 30 washes."
Many products might not have to be washed at all because of
viruses or odor, but some inevitably will and then we need to be
clear with expectations of how long the effect lasts.
"The demand from the fashion market has put pressure to
increase wash durability", says Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene
"While we still believe lesser washes are always a good thing,
we also want to make sure effectiveness is maintained and product
lifetime is extended."
