The face masks with Amicor under Dexzen brand are available in our stores as well as online,” Ittaporn Srisukwattana, senior vice president – design & product development at HomePro, said in a press release.
 
“We are very excited about this new range of face masks for HomePro. Amicor has been one of the most desirable fibres when it comes to hygienic products and has been one of the more preferred fibres when it comes to anti-microbial function. With HomePro, these products will be made available to a much larger number of people who can use these face masks for a much longer duration without worrying about reducing the effectiveness of the anti-microbial function,” Tuhin Kulshreshtha, head of marketing, value added products at TAF said.
 
Amicor fibre provides very high durability and efficacy of upto 100 washes making it one of the few technologies that can provide permanent anti-microbial functionality. The fabric for these face masks has been developed by Bulliontex Co Ltd.
