Tests conducted by independent laboratories have now confirmed that treatment with Sanitized T 99-19 & Sanitized T 11-15, both products of Swiss company Sanitized AG, reduces viral load on polyester textiles by upto 99 per cent. Patented technology of ammonium silicate compound is employed in Sanitized T 99-19 and Sanitized T 11-15 utilises silver technology.

The tests were performed using a feline coronavirus with structures and mechanisms reminiscent of SARS-Cov2. Sanitized T 99-19 and Sanitized T 11-15 are effective against viruses in accordance with ISO 18184:2019.

These additives are the perfect tool for an antiviral and antibacterial treatment of face masks, protective professional medical clothing, bed linens, or mattresses. The formulation of both products remains completely untouched, thus ensuring that it will continue to offer outstanding protection against bacteria.

Before a final product’s antiviral properties can be publicly promoted, viral tests must be performed in specialised laboratories. Compliance with local legal regulations is essential here. Sanitized AG explicitly points out that this is standard procedure and has composed a preliminary Guide for Treating PPE (personal protective equipment) with biocide products.

Sanitized AG has been supporting the work of hygienists in hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing and care facilities for many years with its antimicrobial - and now also antiviral - additives used to enhance the functionality of textiles and polymers. The reduction of bacteria and viruses is a feasible way to help stem the spread of infections including MRSA.

Sanitized AG is the leading worldwide producer of antimicrobial hygiene function and material protection for textiles and plastics. For over 80 years, the company has been undertaking pioneering work in this field and has become an established specialist in comprehensive hygiene concepts.
