Surfaces are source of viral contamination, which is why the WHO recommends frequent hand washing because our hands are constantly touching various surfaces. Research shows that viruses and bacteria remain active and even infectious on textile surfaces under room temperature for days. As a leader in textile innovations, HeiQ’s mission is to use textile as a medium to improve the lives of billions of people. We launched HeiQ Viroblock as a means to contribute our part to the world.
Our thinking was: until there is a cure or vaccine for this disease, at least we can help to mitigate the spread of it with what we do. Apart from the 15 min in the shower we are in constant contact with textiles. How do we make sure that this doesn’t become one vector for the virus? By adding HeiQ Viroblock.
