EPA Approves Livinguard’s “Self-Disinfecting Textile,” Setting The Bar In New Textile Class

SAN JOSE, Calif. — February 16, 2021 — Livinguard introduced in the present day that the U.S. Environmental Safety Company (EPA) has authorized the hygiene-technology firm’s patented self-disinfecting textile (EPA Reg N. 95700-2). Livinguard’s new textile is efficient towards Gram unfavourable and Gram constructive micro organism to the tune of 100,000 instances in 10 minutes, among the many highest ranges of protection towards disease-causing pathogens.

For the reason that onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have studied the effectiveness of Livinguard’s next-generation self-disinfecting textile towards the virus. Freie College (Berlin) laboratory research concluded Livinguard’s next-generation self-disinfecting textile effectively inactivated SARS-CoV-2. As well as, research performed by researchers on the College of Arizona, Tucson’s Water & Power Sustainable Expertise middle decided the textile’s efficacy towards Human Coronavirus 229E.
