-Huw Morgan, Walrus Apparel

"After being in business for a few years, I have gone through many manufacturers looking for the perfect partner. I was a bit skeptical about trying a new partner, especially in Thailand, but after our first meeting I knew it may be a great fit. During my first call with Patrik, I knew that his attention to detail and compassion for the business was what I was looking for. I immediately ordered some samples from them, and when they arrived I was blown away. The quality of the fabrics, workmanship and furthermore - the arrival time, was unmatched from previous manufacturers. I know that I can be a bit of a control freak when it comes to my brand, but the team at Scandinavian Textiles was very patient with me and always had my best interest at hand through the entire process. I certainly look forward to our continued partnership with them. "
-Brennon Lamar, Eyegasmic Apparel

POLYGIENE ®

All content has been acquired from Polygiene who we are partners with. To learn more about Polygiene visit their website: https://polygiene.com/

What is it?

Polygiene prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria at the source. To do this Polygiene uses low concentrations of silver salt (silver chloride), which has antimicrobial properties.

The treatment is applied at the finishing stages of textile production and field and lab tests show a high level of odor control beyond the usual lifespan of a garment. Once the treatment has been applied, the fabric enters the cutting and sewing stage to form the end garment.

How does it work?

Recently they have introduced ViralOff Polygiene technology which is a brand for treatment of textiles and other products including facemasks, medical scrubs and consumer products.

On a garment treated with ViralOff, over 99% of viruses will be killed in 2 hours as per a ISO18184:2019 test. All viruses so far tested, from Influenza A, BirdFlu, Norovirus and to Corona (SARS) viruses are reduced in the 99% range. As this testing procedure is central, the ViralOff brand will serve as a stamp of assurance that the product lives up to a standard.

A study testing substances with the presence of the SARS virus (genetically related to COVID-19) with polygene treated materials proved that it reduced the TCID50 value (concentration value of cells) significantly over time.

Q&A Polygiene ViralOff

Why are we launching this product?
Today we see an enormous need and demand for an antiviral effect. We think it should be used where it makes sense, and it should also provide a real, tested effect on viruses. To have that, the treatment and testing needs to be handled with the anti-viral function in focus. This new product does what it says, and we assure it.

What are the benefits of ViralOff?
Viral reduction of 99% or more. In these times, we need to say little more. But to spell it out, there are many instances where you simply don’t want viruses to thrive, be it in hospital wear, in operation scrubs, in face masks, medical and mountain rescue team wear, and so on. But also, in certain consumer products that are on your face or easily touch your face. Many products will benefit from this protection as they also can be used longer.

Does it help against all viruses?
We have tested the active ingredient against Influenza A, BirdFlu, Norovirus and Corona (SARS) over the years, and in all cases, we have achieved 99% levels of reduction. What we bring with the ISO18184:2019 standard is a test that can be made for any specific product for effect in the two hours timespan, where it has to reduce the virus over 99%, to pass. This test uses viruses of the Influenza A strain. These viruses are used in the ISO test, but we can use more and other virus strains as they become available.

Does it have any environmental certifications?
The product is in the process of being certified by bluesign(R) and the Oeko-tex(R) Eco Passports.

Is it patented?
A technology is the sum of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services. The sum of this is what is a registered trademark, the brand ViralOff.

What is ViralOff made of?
The active ingredient is a biocide and it is made of a reaction mass of titanium dioxide and silver chloride and it is not nano-silver.

In which products can it be used?
It can be used in almost any wearable product, as well as bedsheets and even furniture. The question is not so much if it can be used, as to whether it is useful to have an antiviral function present.

Can we do any healthcare claims?
No, we don’t make any health claims. This is for the protection of the treated product. If, when and how this also is beneficial for the user depends on many other things. For instance, a face mask will never stop viruses from going through it, but we can ensure viruses don’t live in and on it for long. Does this mean in any way that we can say you stay healthy? Of course not. Can we say it is a protection for the mask itself? Yes! And it will make your mask last longer too.

How long does it last?
It is a durable and always-on treatment. Avoid washing to keep it at the maximum level. ViralOff is intended for non-wash items.

How does it work?
ViralOff stops viral activity through interaction with key proteins, inhibiting the virus from infecting the cells. It shows a 99% reduction of many different viruses, on a treated material, within a 2 hours timespan. Shown by test ISO18184:2019, ATCC VR-1679 (H3N2).

Can ViralOff be used next-to-skin?
Yes, it has no effect on the skin as it doesn’t interfere with the skin’s natural bacterial flora.

How is it applied?
Normally, it is applied to fabric at the finishing stage of production. As several treatments can be simultaneously applied, no additional water or energy is needed and the impact on the environment is reduced.

Where is it produced?
The ingredient chemistry is manufactured in Germany with minimal use of resources and in accordance with strict environmental regulations.
