Not only vaccine manufacturers are fighting the coronavirus. SANITIZED’s hygiene function experts are also doing valuable work to end the pandemic and protect people’s surroundings. The company is cooperating with universities, institutes and global labs in research for safe, antiviral products and testing methods. The latest success story: Polyester textiles can be protected against SARS CoV-2 with 99.84 % certainty. This convincing result has been confirmed by independent labs in France for the Sanitized® T 99-19 product.
Interrupting the chain of transmission with antiviral treated textiles
Hygiene sensitive areas such as hospitals, retirement homes or nursing homes value textile and polymer products with antimicrobial and now also antiviral protection from SANITIZED. The company is making its many years of know-how available to manufacturers of treated textile and polymer products. With its excellent antiviral effect officially certified in polyester articles, the Sanitized® T 99-19 product is already used in workwear and protective clothing for nursing staff, bed linen, mattresses in hotels, care facilities and hospitals and contributes to the protection of patients, guests, doctors and the valuable nursing staff.
Also confirmed by textile manufacturers: Sanitized® is effective against SARS CoV-2
The product’s high efficacy against the coronavirus has also been confirmed by tests carried out by textile manufacturers on their own end products with the integrated Sanitized® hygiene function. And they are aggressively communicating this important message! As a license partner, companies have the opportunity to promote the additional function on their end articles, making a beneficial added value visible to consumers. The Swiss Sanitized® brand has been trusted for over 85 years as a seal of quality on end articles and is a strong marketing messaging. Just ask our partners! There is concrete evidence of these activities from SANITIZED.
It is therefore important to check who wants to make antiviral claims
Manufactures of textile products have been forced by the pandemic to deal more intensively with viruses, bacteria and other pathogens on textile surfaces. But in the process, the complex regulations governing product claims such as «antiviral» do not always get the attention they deserve. Consumer deception and the violation of declaration obligations must be prevented. False labeling can not only damage the reputation of the manufacturer’s brand and customer confidence, but also lead to economic losses: Delivery stoppages and the obligation to remove products from the marketplace are measures taken by controlling authorities. Damage to one’s image and legal problems can be avoided if products are labeled according to the official requirements. SANITIZED has developed a claim guide especially for this purpose:
Products marked with the blue Sanitized® brand inspire trust because it stands for Swiss quality, safety and over eight decades of expertise in hygiene management.
