Sanitized T 99-19 'offers 99.84% protection against SARS CoV-2 on textiles'
Published: 31st May 2021
Burgdorf, Switzerland (April 22, 2021) - The nearly 100 % antimicrobial protection of Sanitized T 99-19 against the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been confirmed by independent labs in France (basis: ISO 18184:2019).
Textile and polymer products with Sanitized antimicrobial treatment have been used in hygiene-sensitive areas for many years.
For textiles, Sanitized T 99-19 is a patented technology based on a silane-ammonia compound, a globally proven product. Its hygiene function is used in workwear and protective clothing for nursing staff, bed linen or mattresses in hotels, nursing care facilities and hospitals.
Polyester goods for precisely these areas of application can now not only be antimicrobial, but also reliably protective against SARS CoV-2. The antiviral efficacy (99.84 %) of the Sanitized T 99-19 product has been officially confirmed by tests conducted by external labs.
“This excellent antiviral test result of our particle and metal-free Silane Quat technology, achieved on the basis of a standardized and reproducible test method, meets the expectation of our customers and the market. Thanks to its wide range of applications, Sanitized T 99-19 can be used in a variety of ways in daily hygiene and can make a positive contribution to our efforts to control the pandemic,” explains Stefan Müller, Head of Business Unit Textile Additives at SANITIZED AG.
