Canadian brand Nonie and Dr. Daniel Foucher from Ryerson University weigh in.
Nina Kharey :The term can be a bit confusing. When we think of antivirals, we think of pharmaceuticals that are used to treat virus-borne diseases. An effective antiviral coating resists the build-up of a virus on its surface and kills on contact.
One important distinction is that these antiviral coatings on textiles are more permanent — they are in the fibres of the material, robust and do not wash off. It’s different from something like Lysol, which is a biocide that is absorbed by the virus and a short-term solution as viruses can build back up on the cleaned surfaces.At Nonie, we use nanotechnology to fuse silver and carbon ions into every fibre of the fabric.
