HOW IT WORKS?
Still in the first half of 2020, the year in which the new coronavirus spread, masks, white coats, shirts, professional uniforms and other pieces gained a technological feature that enabled these items to become a source of greater protection. In June, Nanox became the first company in Brazil to prove efficiency against SARS-CoV-2 by testing one of its technologies for fabrics. The tests carried out in renowned laboratories, showed that more than 99% of the viral load was inactivated in just 2 minutes.
The antimicrobial technology also prevents bad odor and stains on clothes caused by microorganisms. In addition to microbiological control, Nanox has in its portfolio a product that acts as a mosquito repellent in fabrics.

Thus, it does not induce any type of allergic reaction or skin irritation, as it is an effective and safe product.
-
Does the solution pose any health risks to animals and children?The product is applied in low quantities. Thus, it is free to offer toxicity to beings that come into contact with the material, having effective action only against harmful microorganisms.
-
How does Nanox's antimicrobial technology works?Nanox works with the application of silver technology in materials in order to provide them antimicrobial properties. It creates a protective barrier, which, when coming into contact with pathogens, acts to inactivate them. Silver technology acts to cause protein precipitation, denaturing the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell, thus having a microbicidal action.
