Hapton company's healthcare products could help stop the spread of Coronavirus

As global suppliers of anti-microbial fabrics for the healthcare market, Panaz, based in Bentley Wood Way, is aware of the need for textiles which effectively prevent the spread of infectious diseases in hospitals, care homes and other environments where vulnerable individuals may be exposed to potentially harmful pathogens.

And after extensive testing by an independent laboratory, Shield Plus™ Anti-Microbial Technology has been proven effective against Coronavirus.

Panaz chief executive Tony Attard said: “While we are hopeful that the threat posed by COVID-19 will soon pass, such events remind us of the vigilance those operating within the healthcare industry must have against the spread of new infections.

"We are delighted to inform our customers that Panaz Shield Plus™ Anti-Microbial Technology is effective against the Coronavirus."

Panaz has been manufacturing high-performance fabrics protected by Shield Plus™ Anti-Microbial Technology for several years, and Shield Plus™ is applied to numerous fabric collections, from hospital cubicle curtains to contract upholsteries.

Shield Plus™ Anti-Microbial Technology literally attracts microbes (viruses, fungi and bacteria) and physically destroys them immediately on impact. It has the broadest spectrum of effectiveness against bacteria, including C-Diff Spore and viruses, including the Coronavirus.
