HeiQ Viroblock is an intelligent Swiss textile technology that is added to fabric during the final stage of the manufacturing process. It uses a unique combination of silver and vesicle technologies in a dual defence against dangerous pathogens:
The HeiQ vesicle technology – many viruses are coated by a lipid (fatty) membrane that protects them. HeiQ vesicle technology targets the membrane surrounding the virus. This exposes the virus, deactivating and making it useless within minutes.
HeiQ silver technology – inhibits the replication of bacteria and deactivates viruses.
