CILliv livinguard®

Fabriques coated with LIVINGUARD®

LIVINGUARD® Technology that actually sterilizes the air that passes through the mask, killing bacteria and viruses that can slip through.

LIVINGUARD® uses a novel approach of neutralizing bacteria and viruses on a molecular level.

LIVINGUARD® uses charged ions to disrupt the atomic structure of bacteria and/or viruses, rendering them “inactive”.

LIVINGUARD® is certified as 100% safe by "Product Safety Labs", USA

CILvir HeiQ Viroblock

Fabriques coated with HeiQ viroblock including Silver & Vesicle components

Function of Silver component Small silver particles are potent “antimicrobial and antiviral agents” due to high

surface area to volume ratio and unique chemical and physical properties

Small silver particles are effective against viruses, effectively eliminating them following short exposure of isolated viruses to silver

Silver interacts with the sulfur-bearing moieties of viruses and can form complexes with electron donor groups leading to inhibition of post-entry stages of infection through blocking viral proteins

HeiQ small silver particles contribute to a broad spectrum of anti-viral mechanism

CILvir HeiQ Viroblock

Fabriques coated with HeiQ viroblock including Silver & Vesicle components

Function of Vesicle component

HeiQ Viroblock vesicle technology functions by directly targeting the lipid envelope (membrane) surrounding the virus

The vesicle structures rapidly deplete cholesterol from the viral envelope exposing and destroying the virus

The vesicle destroys the virus through a physical contact mechanism in seconds
