We need more Anti-Microbial & Anti-Viral Mask , Garments than N95 or Melt Blown!

Introduction:

With the outbreak of #Coronavirus, the demand for masks is increasing and people are paying high amount for a N95 or melt blown filters. But are those Masks Antimicrobial & Antiviral? 

Dr. Anil Kumar Jain, Director –Innovation of Versatile Textiles Pvt. Ltd strongly suggests that use those masks which are pre-treated with special finish of Nano Silver Technology. Antimicrobial masks are more beneficial than N95 masks because of antimicrobial properties imparted to it. Antimicrobial properties make this product anti-bacterial & anti-viral.  

An N95 respirator is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and efficient filtration of airborne particles. The 'N95' designation means the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles. The main limitation of N95 respirator is that it cannot prevent entry of less than 0.3 micron size microbes. Normally, the size of viruses and certain disease causing bacteria is in Nano-meter which is less than 0.3 microns. Thus, these microbes penetrate inside the human body through air inhaled even after wearing N95 respirator. 

Therefore the need arises to make all masks anti-microbial so that any microbes getting strike with masks are either getting killed or made ineffective because of its antimicrobial properties. 

Why Antimicrobial is a Necessity:

All textiles which are subjected to sweat, dirt and dust and are not washed frequently need antimicrobial characteristics to prevent users from pathogenic disease like various skin infections, pneumonia, common cold etc. To make sustainable textiles and free from any potential threat from various diseases, it is mandatory to make it antimicrobial.

Thus antimicrobial textiles are: 

● Anti-bacterial

● Anti-viral

● Anti-fungal

● Bad Odor-free

● Hygienic/fresh

● requires fewer washes

● Durable

Why our product is the perfect choice for you: Silver based antimicrobial product:

● Microorganisms are unable to develop resistance against silver.

● Silver kills a wide range of microorganisms, such as Gram negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, molds, parasites, viruses, yeasts, and algae by oxidation method.

● Silver is safe for human health. It is being used in various areas, such as medicine, agriculture, food packaging, and water disinfection.

Use of latest Nano Technology:

The antibacterial activity of silver has been known since ancient times. The King of Persia during war used silver container for boiled water storage. Silver is still used as a disinfectant for swimming pool.  

In case of nano silver, the antimicrobial agent contains nano silver particles that get rid of bacteria by killing them in warm and humid conditions. The silver largely depends on killing the bacteria by oxidation. This is the reason the bacteria cannot get immune to the silver. The textile treated with nano silver agent will have antibacterial, antifungal, antivirus, odor free properties.

The bacteria and fungi, which can be found almost everywhere, are able to quickly multiply, depending on the moisture, nutrients and temperature levels. Dirt, dust & sweat act as food for bacteria. Some bacteria populations may double every 20-30 min under ideal conditions (36-40°C, pH 5-9), meaning that one single bacteria cell can increase to 1,048,576 cells in just 7 hrs.

The Nano Silver Finish is effectively used in clothing which can be ridden with bacteria and fungi after getting drenched in sweat. With nano silver antimicrobial finish, the garments smell fresh and deter the growth of bacteria responsible for the unpleasant odour. Also the textiles which are less frequently washed like denim and home textile, become the home of bacteria because of dirt/dust present, acting as nutrient for bacteria to grow in millions. 

In our product since the particle size is in Nano Meters, the silver particles penetrate inside the core of the fiber and get fixed. This is the reason that the silver particles remain inside the fiber till the lifetime of the product. Even if the traces of the silver particles are present in the fiber it makes the product antimicrobial.
