Coronaviruses are now shown to reside on textiles and garments for more than one day. Textiles can act as the transmission medium of viruses. Antimicrobial fabric treatments that are typically used do not demonstrate virucidal capability. Many of these treatments are not durable against multiple laundry cycles.

NAMI’s washable antimicrobial textile is the result of surface modification of finished fibers with covalently bonded antimicrobial agents, in contrast to the traditional physical coating on fibers. NAMI’s textile has outstanding virucidal performance against viruses. The finish is durable against multiple laundry cycles, and will not change the color fastness and touch feel of the finished fabric.
