Despite regular cleaning, detrimental bacteria (i.e. staph infections) often stick to fibers, multiply in no time and can cause infectious diseases or allergies when coming into contact with the skin. BioProtect® finds a remedy for this by selectively destroying pathogens upon contact before these can spread across the fabric. This special protective property makes fabrics finished with BioProtect® ideal not only for private housing, but especially for hospitals, nursing homes, hotels and public waiting zones, especially where so-called “secondary infections” appear quite frequently. Curtains and decorative furnishings made with BioProtect reduce this risk substantially.
