Indian textile industry has introduced an innovative product that promises to render viruses such as coronavirus ineffective. The credit for bringing this technology goes to N9 World Technologies, a subsidiary of Bangalore Resil Chemicals, and United States Consolidated Pathways Inc, said a press release.
The two companies have signed an agreement to create unique Swiss antiviral and antimicrobial technologies in a sustainable, affordable custom combination for the Indian textile industry.
N9 World Technologies is at the center of the partnership in which unique organ functional polymer is marketed under the umbrella brand VIROBAN. Sustainable antiviral technology from the N9’s home brings hygiene to textile materials, helping to improve the resilience of the fabric against viruses, including coronavirus.
The VIROBAN N9 XTS-18 creates a high-cationic charge concentration on the textile surface, neutralizing the spread of viruses and bacteria after contact. The technology has been proven 99.99% effective in reducing infectious viruses in ISO 18184 tests and is highly effective against enveloped and capsid viruses.
The technology is designed to quickly prevent viral transmission. VIROBAN polymers are highly compatible with other textiles and remain gentle on human skin.
