Coulisse has introduced a screen with what it describes as breakthrough antiviral properties, able to kills coronavirus particles within seconds
The company says the innovative screen, which is designed for public facilities with strict hygiene requirements, is the first on the market “with a fast-acting and long-lasting antiviral and antibacterial effect, designed to effectively help contain the spread of corona-like viruses.”
“Antimicrobial textiles were already a valued part of the Coulisse collection. They counter the proliferation of microbes that can cause discomfort or disease. Faced with the perils of a new virus raging around the world, Coulisse is undertaking new efforts to ensure that its window coverings solutions keepcontributing to indoor health and safety.”
Coronavirus inactivated within seconds
“Lingering remnants of contagious virus particles present an obvious health risk, especially in public spaces where people come and go. Research shows that viruses of the corona family can remain on materials for days. One of the few fortunate facts about corona is that the virus can be destroyed with relative ease. Tests with the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the antiviral screen from Coulisse show that 99 percent of the coronavirus particles are inactivated within 16 seconds.”
Eva Jongejan, Textile Engineer at Coulisse, commented.
“We are excited to introduce the first screen in the market that is both antimicrobial and antiviral. The screen is designed with fast-acting and long-lasting antiviral and antibacterial effects to help contain the spread of Covid-19.”
“When aerosols come into contact with the antiviral screen, the virus will be unable to disperse. Screen fabrics have always been a preferred choice for public spaces, including hospitals, because of their functionality and durability. Especially for such buildings, we have been seeing increased demand for hygienic solutions.”
Maximum protection and peace of mind
The new screen fabric, with a 5 percent openness factor, is part of the Screen Essential 3000 series. Screen Essential is a PVC and polyester-based fabric with a 2×2 basket weave. It is Oeko-Tex compliant and free of VOCs, phthalates, formaldehyde and heavy metals, making it safe for direct skin contact. Provided with both anti-microbial and antiviral properties, the new screen offers maximum protection against pathogens.
Much like the Coulisse window covering screens with antimicrobial properties, the new antiviral screen is particularly suitable for public facilities with strict hygiene requirements. Naturally, it also provides peace of mind in domestic settings and places where children play. As part of the Screen Essential 3000 series, it is available in a width of 250 centimeters and comes in 6 timeless colors ranging from white and beige to grey and black hues.
