Tracked 24 Delivery from London.
Comfortable for extended periods of time. The inner and outer layers made with industry leading filament grading technology. A lightweight, breathable and technical fabric that doesn’t retain moisture in the same way cotton and other natural fibres do.
Due to the self sanitizing nature of the anti-bacterial treatment on the fabric, AVIRO face masks need not be washed daily. We recommend washing after approximately 20 hours of use or if it gets visibly dirty
Advanced antimicrobial technology which reduces viral and bacterial activity. This diminishes the risk of transferring microorganisms to you and to other surfaces. Dermatologically tested and safe on skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
HeiQ Viroblock is added to fabric during the final stage of the manufacturing process. It uses a unique combination of silver and vesicle technologies in a dual defence against dangerous pathogens :
1. The HeiQ vesicle technology - many viruses are coated by a lipid (fatty) membrane that protects them. HeiQ vesicle technology targets the membrane surrounding the virus. This exposes the virus, deactivating and making it useless within minutes.
2. HeiQ silver technology - inhibits the replication of bacteria and deactivates viruses.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Swiss based company HeiQ is a leader in textile innovation, creating some of the most effective, durable and high-performing textile technology in the market today.
Textiles and clothing can provide a large surface for viruses and bacteria? These germs can remain active for days and be spread or transferred to other surfaces. HeiQ’s new technology HeiQ Viroblock is designed to inhibit the presence and growth of bacteria and enveloped viruses, such as coronavirus and influenza, on textile surfaces.
TESTING - AVIRO
Tested by Microbe Investigations AG (mis), AVIRO fabric treated with HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03 shows excellent antimicrobial activity with 99.69% reduction, and very good antimicrobial activity after x15 washes (99.29% reduction).
