Alea , which presents its SS21 collection in mid-July - revolutionizes the world of shirting by launching Safety , an innovative fabric that blocks viruses and bacteria by relying on Swiss scientific know-how.
Safety is the perfect combination of two synergistic technologies that kill bacteria and destroy viruses in just a few minutes: The registered technology of silver ions for antiviral and bacterial effect which thanks to their magnetic power traps viruses and immobilizes them making their power null. Liposome technology, on the other hand, acts as an impulse that mechanically destroys viruses by coming into contact with their lipid part.
Fabrics treated with Safety actively inhibit viruses and kill bacteria upon contact with the surface. A very important innovation given that the human coronavirus can persist for up to two days on fabrics at room temperature.
By keeping the fabric free of viable viruses and bacteria, Safety -treated fabrics help minimize the potential for transmission of pathogens from fabrics.
This antibacterial and antiviral effect lasts for about 30 wash cycles at 40°. The finish of the fabrics is not changed in the slightest, so touch and style remain unchanged with the addition of the extra antibacterial shield.
