Sensil® BodyFresh Fabrics from NILIT, a manufacturer of innovative, customized nylon (polyamide) 6.6 solutions, has demonstrated a 99.85 per cent reduction in viral activity when tested according to ISO 18184:2019 criteria against Betacoronavirus 1 (OC43), an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus.
The confirmation has been received from Microbe Investigations AG (MIS) – a microbiological testing services lab. The additives integrated into Sensil® BodyFresh yarn delivers long-lasting protection that does not deteriorate with laundering, indicating that the additive is not washed out of the fabric.
The use of the technology helps in controlling the microbial growth allowing fabric to stay fresher longer and require fewer launderings. Moreover, the Sensil® BodyFresh is responsibly made at NILIT’s water- and energy-optimized facilities and meets NILIT’s Total Product Sustainability guidelines.
